Camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors with your kids and create memories for years to come. If you haven't been camping yet this year, it's not too late. Plan for a successful camping trip with some of these resources and enjoy some fun camping stories before you go.
The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping With Kids
My favorite pick for camping with kids, this book's four sections - trip planning, gearing up, organizing the campsite, boredom busters, and first aid and safety - make it easy to reference. Filled with tips, checklists and "secret weapons," such as how to make homemade fire-starting eggs, this handy guide provides all you need for successful outdoor adventures.

A thorough, easy-to-use guide that helps with planning your trip, setting up camp, outdoor adventures, and camp activities to keep everyone happy on your camping trip.
This book presents 174 skills, projects, games, and more, and is a great all-around outdoor activity book geared to kids 7 and up.
A fun, basic guide for young readers laid out in a kid-friendly, engaging format.
A perfect camping companion, this book serves as a handy reference guide for basic survival and outdoor skills as well as a resource for nature crafts and activities.
The Scout's Backpacking Cookbook
While this book contains all the essentials for cooking on the trail, it is also a great resource for campers who want to pack light and simplify their meals.
Also in eBook format.
The Kids Book of the Night Sky
Camping is the perfect opportunity to stargaze and this book contains a variety of discovery activities including games, keeping an astronomer's guide, mythos of the night sky, and star maps for each season.
