Two boys both 2 & 4. Have tents, chairs, sleeping bags, cooking gear. Will go somewhere with toilets as a start. Any gear, set-up, or entertainment advise for kids would be great.

We did our first tent camp last summer at a friend's crown land trailer camp location. In our case, day time was perfect. We brought toys and loads of sugar free snacks and water. We didn't want them amped up and it worked.

Now the reality of night time for us was a nightmare. The second they went in the tent it was chaos. We ended up just going home after an hour.

This year we're gonna try with a travel trailer. Literally just bought and towed a cheap used Jayco Songbird 100km home to try out. After a little TLC it should good to go.
