"It is a shame that once children arrive on the scene, plenty of once intrepid campers seem reluctant to venture far from home. Parents face a common dilemma. Whilst there is no doubt getting the kids outdoors can make for lifelong memories - the question is, will they be good memories? You may wonder whether taking the kids camping is worth the extra effort and planning, or whether only choosing kid-friendly is worth denying yourself the camping experience. I started camping with my son George when he was just two. Having set up tent in the New Forest, Spain and as far away as Up State New York I have come across plenty of families prepared to give it a go. Like them, it took just a little forethought to make our trip enjoyable and easy." Find out more about camping with kids in Helen Truszkowski's family holidays article.
