The first time we went camping with baby I was so stressed about what the heck we needed so I’ve comprised this list of incredible but obvious needs and things you might not think of!

Toys
We focus on easily cleaned/wiped toys because you’re camping, everything gets dirty so easy.
Sticks to most surfaces, entertaining but easy to keep clean!
High Chair Sensory Silicone Teething Toy
These books are amazing. They’re honestly more a toy than a book but great for camping as you can wipe them off and baby can’t destroy them.
Indestructible Books
Sleeping
All convenient, fold up small in the tent things that will make this experience so much easier and smooth.
Doesn’t need to be plugged in, super good range, great sounds quality.
VTech Audio Baby Monitor with Rechargeable Battery
Trying to find your phone for a light in the middle of the night is awful, these are incredibly helpful and just hang from the ceiling of the tent.
FLY2SKY 4-Pack Portable LED Tent Lamps
Sleeping bag sleep sac Lovveeeee. The arms are detachable
baby deedee Sleep Nest Travel Quilted Sack
We had a different one where the top didn’t come off but I prefer this one so you can use it in the tent for baby’s bed and use it outside for sun protection and mosquito safe area.
Pamo Babe Baby Playpen with Sun Canopy
If baby is smaller this is an awesome camping bassinet and folds up so skinny.
Munchkin Brica Baby Travel Pod, Grey
Feeding
Not having our kitchen stressed me out but it’s actually so much easier than it seems.
This chair is incredible. So many conversions, will be useful for long into their toddler/kid years. Packs up small.
Baby Delight Go with Me Venture Chair Carbon Camo
Comes with everything you’d need, easily rinses off and super compact.
Travel Silicone Toddler Suction Plates Set
I exclusively nurse so I brought this just in case but for bottle drinkers this will be an absolute necessity. So nice that it collapses for space and the drain feature is so so helpful.
GIMWA Collapsible Baby Bottle Wash Basin
Compact, silicone and a drying rack a must.
6-in-1 Baby Bottle Brush Set with Drying Rack
Clothing
A few extra options that are not necessary but helpful!
Comes In a ton of colors, super light weight and airy.
HONGTEYA Baby Toddler Girl Sun Hat UPF 50+
Great for colder weather camping and keeps good coverage from mosquitoes.
Carhartt Kid's CM9758 Quilted Jersey Coverall
Etc.
Extras but needed.
We all hate mosquitoes but the moment they’re swarming your baby and new level of rage sets in. We covered her every second.
Baby Mosquito Net for Stroller, Car Seat & Bassinet
Keep baby cool, this was awesome
2025 Upgraded 4000mAh Misting Baby Stroller Fan
Something handy to have in the car even if you’re not camping but makes life so much easier then trucking them all the way to a bathroom. Comes with liners
Travel Potty for Toddler, Portable Foldable Toilet
These are reusable and keep cool super well.
FROGG TOGGS Chilly Mini Cooling Neck Towel 6ct
Body Care
I am very serious about the ingredients my family uses and these are all great healthy items.
These are huge. A literal towel. Soo amazing for keeping baby clean without a shower.
WaterWipes Sensitive+ Bathing Wipes, 16 Ct
This helps a little for sure, I only apply to clothes as I don’t want baby sucking on hands and getting it in her mouth though it’d likely be fine as it’s just essential oils.
Babyganics Insect Spray 2oz Plant Oils
Being in the middle of no where this is incredibly important and something I didn’t even think about the first time we went.
Portable Kids First Aid Kit with CPR Shield
My absolute favorite baby spf, incredible ingredients, never had a burn.
Earth Mama Baby Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40
My favorite baby SPF in a stick for such easy application
Earth Mama Baby Face Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 40
Swimming
We try to camp places with water options but if it’s hot and there’s no water I’ve added some things for baby to still cool off!
If you’re camping with water I prefer something like this as there’s a cover for extra sun protection.
Cotryvox Baby Pool Float with Canopy, Pink
This is more for keeping baby cool if you’re camping in the summer.
Mommy's Helper Inflatable Under Sea Baby Tub
They hate the life jacket but this one’s shape helps a little and keeps their head above water
Connelly Babysafe Nylon Vest,Up To 30Lbs
Good little fold up splash pad!
Monobeach Baby Pop Up Beach Tent UV Shade
Added Sun protection, if they’re kept wet the won’t be hot but if it’s super hot where you’re going it opt for the sleeveless option & shade
RuffleButts Girls Seersucker Long Sleeve Rash Guard
