Planning a camping trip with children can feel like a military operation.
There’s the tent and sleeping gear to remember. Clothes for every kind of British weather. Food to organise. Activities to think about. Toiletries, medicines, torches, chargers, favourite toys, and somehow you still arrive at the campsite wondering what you’ve forgotten.

The Family Camping Planner brings everything together in one place.

It’s a practical 50+ page digital guide and planner, created to help you organise your family camping trip from the first stages of planning right through to packing up and heading home.
Plus, you’ll get 7 reusable printable checklists and planners that you can print again for every camping trip.

Spend Less Time Worrying About What You’ve Forgotten

Family camping is supposed to be about getting outdoors together, not spending the night before departure surrounded by piles of equipment wondering whether you’ve packed enough socks.

The Family Camping Planner helps you work through your trip step-by-step.

Use it to:

✓ Plan your trip before you leave
✓ Work out exactly what your family needs to pack
✓ Organise meals and food
✓ Give each child their own packing list
✓ Set up camp in a sensible order
✓ Keep track of activities and plans
✓ Pack everything away at the end of your trip
✓ Remember what worked, and what you’d change next time

Whether you’re preparing for your first family camping trip or you’ve camped together many times before, it’s designed to make the whole process easier to manage.

Who is the Family Camping Planner For?

I created the planner for parents who want to enjoy family camping without having to organise everything from scratch every time.

It could be particularly useful if:

✓ You’re planning your family’s first camping trip
✓ You worry about forgetting something important
✓ Packing for several children quickly becomes overwhelming
✓ You want your children to become more involved in preparing for trips
✓ You want your meals, packing, activities, and plans organised in one place
✓ You’ve camped before, but would love a system you can reuse next time
✓ You simply want to spend less time organising and more time enjoying being outdoors together


Why I Created the Family Camping Planner

Hi, I’m Rebecca, outdoor writer, long-distance runner, and mum of two.

Getting outdoors as a family is a huge part of what I write about here at rebeccascampbell.com, and I know that the hardest part of a family adventure is often everything that has to happen before you’ve even left the house.

I created The Family Camping Planner to bring all those little jobs, lists, and things to remember into one practical place.

Rather than searching for a packing list, creating a separate meal plan, writing another list for the children, and trying to remember what needs doing before you leave, you can work through the planner and keep everything together.

My aim is simple: less time worrying about what you’ve forgotten and more time enjoying the adventure with your family.
