Camping With Kids : A Book Full of Great Ideas

Camping With Kids is a brand new book, written by a very experienced camper, dad and camping magazine editor, Simon McGrath.

It is not a guide book about where to camp, it’s all about how to camp

The book is packed full of over 300 ideas for things to do, games, adventures, recipes for campfire treats and other camping family fun.

Learn to tie knots, enjoy night walks, watch meteor showers, build teepees, turn camping into glamping – it’s all here. There are lots of ideas for storytelling and tent games as well as for experiencing the joys of the outdoors.

This is great for beginner campers, and will give many ideas to the more experienced too.

Camping is so great for children, although one disgruntled mum friend of mine does describe it as ‘housework, but harder.’

As a child we camped out a lot in Scotland, so Aussie camping has always felt like glamping to me. So few high winds and thunderous rain storms.

Camping With Kids is both useful and practical, it is inspiring too.  I really enjoyed reading the content, and love the beautiful graphics too.

Here’s a minute long video which shows more of the book.

Other Useful Aussie Camping Books

Another handy book about camping is Australia’s Best Camping: the most scenic campgrounds around Australia by Kerryn Burgess.

Boiling Billy’s Camping Guide to Australia also comes highly recommended. 

I haven’t found a camping guide to New South Wales, but I need one.

The blog posts about Best Places To Go Camping In and Around Sydney lists some great places through.

Have you been camping as a family and if so where is your favourite campsite?

Do you have a fave family camping activity?

If you haven’t been camping, what is putting you off?

Good luck,
