We just bought our first pop-up camper and are learning family camping as we go.
This list includes the exact camping supplies we keep stocked in our camper, beginner-friendly gear that makes camping with kids easier, and family campgrounds in Pennsylvania and the Northeast worth checking out.
If you're planning your first camping trip with kids and wondering what you actually need (and what you can skip), this guide will help you feel prepared without overspending.
