Plan your next Adventure
Big adventures start with a little planning.
Camping with kids can be unforgettable—the campfire dinners, muddy shoes, wildlife sightings, starry skies, and stories they’ll still be telling years later.
But getting everyone out the door? That takes a plan.
One Stop Adventure Store helps parents turn “We should go camping!” into “We’re ready to go.” Whether it’s your family’s first night under the stars or your next big weekend away, we’ll help you plan what to bring, what to eat, what to do, and how to keep the whole crew comfortable along the way.

Our guides and checklists can help you build a camping setup that works for your family, without forgetting the little things that can make a big difference.
Meal Planning
Outdoor meals don’t need to be complicated.
Choose simple breakfasts, packable lunches, campfire dinners, easy snacks, and a few treats that give everyone something to look forward to.
When planning your menu, consider how you’ll store food, how much water you’ll need, what cooking equipment is available, and whether your campground has any food-storage requirements.
And yes, marshmallows count as planning.
Keep Kids Part of the Adventure
Give kids a role before you leave.
Let them choose a trail snack, pack their own adventure bag, pick a campground activity, or help plan dinner. Younger campers might bring a favorite stuffed animal or nature journal, while older kids can help navigate, set up camp, collect firewood where permitted, or prepare meals.
When kids help plan the trip, camping becomes their adventure too.
Prepare for the Unexpected
Adventure comes with surprises.
Good planning helps make sure they stay manageable.
Before you leave, check:
- Weather and campground conditions
- Fire restrictions and local regulations
- Reservation and check-in information
- Wildlife guidance
- Emergency contacts
- First-aid supplies
- Your route and backup route
- Where you can find fuel, food, water, and medical help
Share your destination and expected return time with someone who isn’t traveling with you, especially when heading somewhere remote.
