What equipment do i need for a camping trip.?
We have thought of all the basics, but this is the first time we have gone with children! What more unusual things are we likely to forget?

some travel games (they have travel versions of most popular board games)
a flashlight and extra batteries for each kid plus a couple extras

Er, I’ll just have to guess at what your "basics" are.
I’ve been in the military for a few years os naturally, I’ve picked up a few pointers from the field.
I have kids,too. When we go camping we bring:
-baby wipes (a MUST have)
-4 jugs of water
-at least 2 cans of bug spray
-garbage bags (for trash clean-up)
-pogie bait (beef jerky, dried fruit)
-towels
-extra socks
-coloring book and crayons
-emergency kit (for bee stings, poison oak, etc)
-cell phone car charger
-an entreching tool or spade for waste disposal
-a few pochos in case of rain
-zip lock baggies for leftover food
Hope some of those items help!
I’ve camped with kids and some things that were helpful were
letting the kids have their own flashlights, a flyswatter, and a fan for inside the tent. Bikes or some outdoor game is helpful too, like badmitton or frisbee.
