Baby’s packing list for Camping
- Pack n’ Play Playard, Playpen or a travel bassinet for sleeping
Tip: If you camp with an Infant I would recommend taking a Pack and Play anyway. This way your kid can stay there while you busy cooking, assemble your tent and etc. - Baby Carrier and/or backpack baby carrier.
If you plan to do some trekking or some walking in the park, it will be better to use a backpack baby carrier. For all other times, you can use your regular carrier. - Bedding and warm blanket for night time.
- Net for the bed and the stroller.
- Receiving blankets for changing time
- Extra clothes and extra shoes
Tip: Take more clothes than you would think you will use. - Warm clothes for night time.
Tip: It can be very cold at night time, therefore you should bring warm slippers and a jacket for early morning time. - Baby Formula if needed
- Baby food
- Food utilities
- Booster for feeding time
If you have a small one that you can place on any chair or camping table it will be ideal. - Diapers and Wipes
Bring as many as you can, you don’t want to be left without diapers. - Small bags for dirty diapers.
- Sunscreen and hat.
- Mosquito protection for babies
- First aid kit including thermostat, medications to treat fever and after-bite cream.
- Shower utilities and towels
- Hand sanitizer gel
The gel will be a good tactic to clean your hands before feeding and after changing diapers. - Bathing suit and Swim Pants
If you planning to go swimming every day, bring more than one bathing suit. - Beach Shelter Tent or Sun Block Beach Umbrella
If you plan to go to the beach or if you have a sunny campsite, you will need to provide some shade for your LO’. - Beach kids gear like baby float and sand toy set
