Camping with children requires taking along extra things to enable taking care of them and also keeping them happy. What is needed does depend on the age and personality of the child. Sometimes what is forgotten is remembering that the vacation or weekend also belongs to the parent. That does create an issue since if the child is real young they do need things like naps. Putting your child for a nap normally means someone has to watch them.

A camping hammock works great as a way to enjoy camping while still watching your child. Hang the camping hammock to a couple of trees and take a nap yourself or read a book. You might even look forward their nap time as a way to take a break from your camping activities.
