Really helpful thank you!!

Oh so dreamy. When will my kids be older than 4 and 0?! :D

My son (4) and I are taking a trip up to northern Minnesota next week. Our primary route will be along i-29, but we are planning to drive ~1-2 hours west or east of 29 for camping spots along the way (probably will camp 2 or 3 nights). I saw an area around Watertown, SD, that seemed to have...

If you don't mind a short hike (.75 miles) Woodridge is really great. You can park and hike anywhere to lakeshore and set up shop. If it's in season and you're wanting to car camp, get there early and expect a crowd (and sometimes a rowdy one with the University nearby... unfortunately). I...

Great save. I"m gonna be that one in the mud I just know it.

If you ride through Kansas swing by Wilson Lake: Wilson It's a bit of a gem (for Kansas standards). If you make it to the east side shoot me a message. I'm in Lawrence (outside of Kansas City) and there are several state fishing lakes nearby that have free camping, great fishing, and good sunsets.

Agreed it's quite harsh. I am quite new to the scene as well and was excited to see your post as a relate to the newness. I started by taking family camping (wife, toddler, newborn, and lab pup) to our local state parks and public use areas. We are trying to get 'better' at camping in prep...

So we will be on interstates at least every other day and able to hit gas stations. I guess the thing that occurs to me is, how do I fill up 5-10 gallons of water at a gas station (or other common area), what does that look like? Is there a tap on wall of every gas station I don't know about? :)

Slightly related/unrelated, we have some decent water storage ready for a 19-day road trip this summer. A question that occurs to me: how/where do you fill up water when on an extended journey?

I like this idea. My son likes to look at maps but so far is too young to really capture what they represent and iterate on that to understand where we are and how far we move along. Maybe I can do some practice with him around town to get him used to the concepts. (I laughed at compassionate...

Love it. My son tends to be the most cautious of the whole family. But my daughter who is now only 6 months seems to be boldly going where my son never would've imagined. These types of rules of thumb will be handy I am sure.

I've spent a good part of the day getting caught up on all the toddler/kiddo idea threads. Wanted to make a summary of everything I've jotted down for ideas: Binoculars Bird I.D. book and rock I.D. book Magnifying glass and/or pocket microscope Building colored lanterns (cyalume sticks -->...

This was a great thread to catch up on. I've got a 4 year old, 6 month old, spouse and a puppy. We've done a lot of primitive camping overnights, and are gearing up for a longer road trip to visit friends and camp along the way. Here are the gems I wrote down from the posts for things to do...

Very cool looking photo. Thanks for sharing

Bonner Springs is close! Any trip plans for the summer already?

No worries thanks for the response!

Hi is this still available?

Hi everyone! I’m Robert from Lawrence Kansas. My family (wife, 4 year old, 5 month old, and lab pup) have been primitive camping around Kansas since the pandemic. We are so excited to extend our journeys beyond this beautiful state. We’ve slated a 19 day trip to New Orleans and down to Miami...
