Last-Minute Camping Trip with Baby-Where Should We Go?
Hi everyone! My husband, our 10-month-old and our dog are hoping to go camping next week, and we could use some recommendations! 😊
We didn’t make reservations ahead of time because we had a bunch of home renos going on and weren’t sure when we’d be finished. We’re hoping to leave Tuesday or Wednesday and stay at the first spot for at least 5 days, and potentially move somewhere else for another 4–5 days.
We have a 21-foot pull-along trailer and would love somewhere within about 4–5 hours of Edmonton, preferably heading toward the mountains. We’d love somewhere with a creek, big trees and lots of walking paths. A playground would be a nice bonus, but definitely not necessary.
We’re open to sites that may still have availability or first-come, first-served spots!
This will also be our first time camping with a baby, so I’d love any tips or advice from parents who have done it. Our trailer doesn’t have room for a playpen, so we’re trying to figure out sleeping arrangements. Has anyone used bumper rails on the bottom bunk? There’s no gap between the mattress and the walls, and the mattress is quite firm, so I’m wondering if that could work.
Any campsite recommendations or baby camping tips would be SO appreciated! Thank you! ❤️
