VAN CAMPING: On a Campsite

Join me and my family as we go van camping on a campsite in England. This is the first night camping in the van as a full family. We get an electric hookup pitch so we can enjoy the full facilities that the campervan has to offer.

    I started all of my kids as early as Oscar. And everyone of them still love to camp and fish. Two of them are pushing 50 now. We'd love to reminisce camping with their grandparents. Precious Memories that you will have with your children.

    Oh my goodness! I love that you can camp with your family. When my son was about six months old we went camping for a few days. Yes, nights can be tough, but the tradeoff is you can corral a baby in a play pen if need be (while building a fire or something). Also, you can keep your days low-key and even nap with the kids if you feel like it. I nearly died laughing at your comment "Let's be honest, it's the dad who will be out here." You know the deal. Keep up the great work. Sure love your family.

    🇨🇦Greetings from Canada! Camping with one child is challenging so an additional little one will certainly contribute to the chaos. I’d be surprised if Oscar wasn’t a little fussy in that environment because he’s bound to respond to disruptions in his routine, even pleasant ones. Eva is obviously enjoying the novelty of the situation and she’s clearly inherited your Dad’s merriment gene. Thanks for sharing this and having survived your inaugural overnight, you’re going to be prepared for the next one. Cheers!

    Sorry to hear that. But don’t let that experience get in the way of your camping adventures. The hardest bit is getting the motivation walking out the door. Once you’re out there and camping you’ll wonder why you never did it earlier. Sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone to experience the best adventures.
