Any mommies and daddies who camp with their babies?

This mommy

I love to camp.Use to go every weekend. I have never been camping with my husband or since we've had our children. i would love to go camping soon as a family. Ok so this question obviously is in the wrong section. My kids are 16 months and 3 years old. But they enjoy hiking and the wilderness. Do you think they are too young to take on a weekend trip at a state park. I know people who have taken newborns but not personally. Any personal stories and what the heck do I pack for the kids? Besides the obvious like food and clothes.

Answer
I know this isn't the most relevant answer, but we just set up the tent inthe backyard and slept out there last weekend. It was fun, and the kids slept better than they do indoors!

We are considering camping at the beach, but I don't know if I want to take my 5-month-old somewhere hot and buggy. That plan might wait a year or two.

I just had a baby on July 1st so that means I am heading back to work on Monday, I really want to get out of town for the weekend but can't think of where to go or what to do, its to hot out to do any outdoor activities. Any recommendations?

Is it safe to take a newborn to the beach if...?

Addie!

Is it safe to take my daughter (due in early august) to the beach? She would be really little (only a couple weeks old) Can I take her into the water, but not get her wet?

Answer
I would buy a little baby beach shade tent, keep her very well hydrated and lubed up with sunscreen. I bet she'll sleep like an angel on a bed of soft towels and sand.
