- In this video, I show you how we set up our Campsite when we go Tent Camping. My husband and I grew up camping and now our kids have as well. This is our 14th summer camping together. We've come to this camp ground every year but have also camped at other locations in California, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming.

Don't feel guilty about using whatever you need to use to make your vacation enjoyable for you! Thanks for sharing your video!
Thanks for the encouragement! I try not to feel guilty about it. We don't want to be wasteful but I need a balance so that I can actually enjoy my vacation as well. When I was growing up camping, we always brought re-usable dishes and spent time washing them after each meal. When I first went with my in-laws and saw how my mother-in-law did it, I thought it was a brilliant idea and would ease one part of the work - I was sold, especially with little kids. My mother-in-law would actually save up plastic utensils and such throughout the year from fast food restaurants so that they would have enough for their trips so she wasn't actually buying any :)
Yeah... you do you!
No guilt on the disposables!!! Mommas need a break too. Great video.
Yes! Thank you!
Don't feel guilty about the paper plates, mothers completely understand, others aren't being reasonable. You did a great set up!
Thank you!
Never apologize for doing something that gives you more time for you and your family
I'm still learning 😉
I’ve just started back camping after 25 years 👌👍🏕🏕🔥🌲🧲🎣 great idea with paper plates 👌👍 thanks for video x now subscribed 👌👍💖
Might want to add some dead sticks between the rope and the tree trunks to keep from damaging the tree bark. You can use wire from a hanger to make a paper towel holder if you forget to get the roll on. Great video! Wish I had this kind of stuff to watch when my kids were little. Enjoy theses times with them, they don’t last long enough.
Great suggestions!
Thanks for these videos! We are camping with 4 kids twice a year, every year. This is my first time with kids. Had a lot of fun camping growing up. All these tips are useful!
Glad they could help! Good luck camping with your crew :)
You deserve to enjoy the trip too. Good for you!
Thank you!
Good evening Sarah & Family ! Thanks for sharing your campsite & cool ideas ! Camping is about the whole Family enjoying themselves ! You do what you need to do & that's all that matters ! Congratulations to you & your husband on the baby ! Keep up the great work & keep smiling !
Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. I, along with others I see in the comments, want to remind you to disregard the negative comments you may have received. There is no need to justify yourself to people who can’t relate to your situation. I hope you have many relaxing vacations in the future. The video was very helpful and informative. I thank you and I’m Looking forward to more. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for the kind words and I'm so glad the video was helpful 😁
Great setup! I love watching your camping videos! I've used many of your ideas and tips, and they've made our camping experiences so awesome!!
I'm so glad you've been able to use the ideas and tips!
Try not to worry about the negative “waste comments”, you did great,
Thank you!
Nice tips, thanks for posting the video.
Tip. One piece of rope/paracord et cetera, ran through the paper towel roll -- use double prusik knots attached to the main line to secure the roll and will eliminate the need for the clothes line clips as the prusiks can be adjusted as the roll is reduced in diameter.
That's a great idea! Thank you!
Great camping setup. Like the hand-washing setup
DON'T feel bad about the plates!! Hubs convinced me to use paper after our first camp as family of 6!! Best idea ever! We still have washable plates/bowls as needed but having the paper for most meals really takes the pressure off the constant need for washing!!! We too choose paper for our one use items!! Keep up the good work MAMA you are AMAZING!!!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Great video! Oh how I remember the breathlessness of pregnancy!
No guilt! We do what we can when we can.
Thanks for sharing your video. My parents introduced me to camping 50 years ago with our small tent trailer. My wife and I are now grandparents and plan to introduce our grandkids to tent camping. Your video and tips were very helpful. Thanks!
We still camp with both my parents and in-laws and my kids love having their grandparents with them. Enjoy the special time together!
@@SaraWeston thank you! We look forward to creating some good memories for our grand kids.
Make easy for you is the game plan, I get. I bring my granddaughter 7yrs. Enjoy your vacation please. Thanks for your great suggestions 😎
You're welcome!
Our Coleman stove Also has a hard time with temperature adjustment. We discovered that you can adjust the burners to low temperature if you pull out on the knob while turning.
Thank you so much for the tip! I will definitely try it out when we go camping in a few months 😁
Smart .
Great idea's .
Thanks!
I was so excited to see that this new video about camping was available!! I have really enjoyed your videos regarding packing for camping, your tent set-up, and your campsite set-up. Me and my family are going on our first camping trip together ever in a week and I am SO EXCITED!! My girls are excited, too, well 2 of them LOL 1 is a little nervous, but she will be fine! We have 4 girls (9, 7, 7, 1.5). My husband isn't quite excited, but i'm hoping that he will enjoy himself once we are there and having fun as a family together. We are starting with a rustic cabin at a NJ state park on a lake. Are you planning to do a video on your breakfast, lunch, and dinner options throughout your weekly camping trip? I have been searching online and pinterest and have a ton of great ideas to try (we are going to try to cool over the campfire lol) but I was curious and hoping to see what you guys do! Thanks for sharing!
I hope you have a great time on your trip! Your kids are at great ages to enjoy the outdoors. (My kids are 9, 7, 6, and 3 and they all look forward to camping each year.) I'm hoping to get a video out next week on our breakfasts and lunches. I didn't end up filming any of our dinners this year due to my morning sickness. My mom actually took care of all of our dinners and she cooks differently than I do while camping so it wouldn't have been a good representation of how I do dinners. Also, I typically got really sick in the evenings so filming just wasn't an option this time around. I will say, I try to keep things simple with the least amount of work at the campsite as possible. So I try to do as much prep work at home before we leave as possible and freeze as much as possible so it helps things to stay cold in the ice chest longer. (I bring up almost all pre-cooked meats and freeze them as I don't like dealing with raw meat while camping.) It may be different for you as you're in a cabin and possibly have access to an actual kitchen but that's what works well for me while camping without a kitchen. So possible dinner meals include (along with a veggie that is either frozen peas, frozen corn, or canned green beans, typically): 1) Rotisserie Chicken from Costco (pre cut-up and frozen) & Instant Mashed Potatoes (I typically do this on our first night as it's simple and I don't feel like doing much after setting up camp), 2) Pre-cooked sausages & instant mashed potatoes (from Costco) 3) Spaghetti & Meatballs, 4) Tacos/Burritos, 5) Tri-Tip & Rice or Instant Mashed Potatoes, 6) Freeze-Dried Meals (I've gotten these at Costco and bring up a few), 7) Hot Dogs and Chili (my kids are finally old enough to roast their own hot dogs over the fire and they enjoy doing it so this is actually a newer one for us). I'm drawing a blank right now on other dinner meals I do but I'll list them for you once I remember them :) I tried pizza rolls last year and they didn't turn out very well. I also tried having them completely prepped at home and frozen and that may have been why they failed. The dough burned to the foil. Maybe if I had put some oil on the outside of the dough before wrapping them in foil they wouldn't have burned. I just really didn't want to bring all the various ingredients to make them on the site so that's why I did them early. I will also repeat meals if we're there for a while and I sometimes have enough to do leftovers on a night. I try to bring up a meal that is completely canned so that if something happens we can always take it back home with us and it wouldn't have gone bad. Where we camp (at Hume Lake) there is a Christian camp a 10 minute walk from the campground and they have food for purchase there so there have been nights when we'll go in to "town" for burgers or pizza instead of cooking. Having a canned meal is as a "just in case" meal is also good if we've been out all day away from the campsite and end up finding a place to eat in the National Forest on our way back. We could have used that meal but have the option not to as well. In general, I try to avoid cooking over the campfire myself as I don't have the patience for getting a fire started and waiting for the coals to be ready. Both my in-laws and parents do cook over the fire; my father-in-law uses a cast iron skillet a lot and my parents bring up their own coals and grill (just the part you use to cook on - can't think of what it's called) and cook that way. I hope this is all helpful!
Whatever works, Works!
Hume! I’ve spent a lot of time up there. This is very helpful. I’m taking my two little guys (3.5 & 2) camping for the first time this summer.
Have fun! Glad the info was helpful!
Camping is so complicated. I loved driving to the south of France and everything was there ready for you. . No bears either lol
You can make it more simple but I grew up with a very organized and prepared mom and so being so prepared it's what I'm used to 😁 Plus it helps things to go more smoothly once we're there.
So helpful! Family of 6 (4 kids ages 2-10) getting back into camping.
Awesome! Hope the video helped 😊
Like your camp setup. If you take the knobs off of the stove and clean up valve seat and lubricate with silicon you will find that you will have much more control over turning the valves down. Avoid petrolium lube products. While your kids are young, don't apologize for using mostly burnable paper products. As they get older, get yourself a number of plastic 12 qt. dish pans that nest together and setup 3 for washing. Put some in the first and then rinse water in the next two and then use the remainder (I use 6) to place dishes and pots and silverware in to dry. Lastly, if you are inclined to, look for a used (in good shape) Coleman white gas suitcase stove such as a 413, or preferably, a 3-burner one (426) that can be cleaned/restored/repainted and then get a propane adapter. You can also get a propane hose and utilize a larger 5 or 10 lb. propane canister instead of the disposable ones. Thanks for the great tips!
We just got back from our camping trip this year and while there, I told my parents who have a 3-burner stove that's probably over 40 years old, that I want to inherit it when they're done camping 😂
Thanks for the tips on my current stove!
really nice area, luv Hume Lake.
We love it too!
Great video and set up!
Thank you!
You camp how the heck you want. You do what makes you comfortable.. No explanations needed. Just some fyi. The animals are usually attracted by the scent not by its looks.
Where we camp, in California, the bears actually know what an ice chest looks like and what should be inside one. We've known of completely empty ice chests broken into before!
I love camping
Don't worry about the disposables ....whatever helps you enjoy yourself :) I have seen that people use those laundry bags for the hanging bags if that helps :)
Really truly great video! I've seen your other videos on how you pack for your camping trips you're very thorough! I had a camping trip plan 4 weeks ago and I had to cancel it because things came out. I have not reschedule yet. And it's a good thing that we didn't go on the week that I had planned because we had very severe thunderstorms. We live in Florida and it rains a lot. So we're going to hold off until things cool down a bit. Summer in Florida can be brutal. I was so excited when I saw your latest video on how you set up your tent for your little ones. Well my wife and I we don't have any little ones it'll just be the two of us so life will be a lot simpler. I was not expecting any camping videos from you because of your pregnancy. But it's nice to see that you guys went camping anyway, thank you very much put the video and I can't wait to see you next one!
I've heard that about Florida. We've camped in the rain and in thunderstorms before and it definitely puts a damper on things - glad you got to avoid that! I wasn't sure if I was going to even go camping this year but I made it! It was a struggle at times for sure with my nausea but we got through it (with lots of help!). I didn't get to film all the videos I would have liked because of it but I was happy I got a few at least. I have two more that I need to edit and I'm hoping to get them out next week (fingers crossesd!). I'm glad you like them and find them useful. With how many views I've gotten on my Packing for Tent Camping video it seems like this is something people want to see more of and I love sharing it :) I hope you have a great trip when you do get to go!
I hope you feel better soon!!! I will reschedule for November!
You are just like my wife...she uses Ziplock bags for everything! LOL. Nice camping setup. For your stove, turn the propane tank up the other way. It's upside down. You might get a better flame. KEEP ON CAMPING!
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that out and see if it makes a difference.
@@SaraWeston Let me know please. Just wondering! Keep on camping! Where are you from? 🏕️👍
@@barrywalters9007 We actually got back from camping a week ago but I wasn't able to try out your suggestion because we ended up borrowing a friend's stove for the week (his suggestion) so I'll have to wait until next year 😀
Nice video thanks
Thank you!
Smart toilet for kids and adult as well
Yes, it is a HUGE lifesaver!
Also I have another follow-up question about what sort of games/toys, etc. you bring to keep all of your kiddos entertained for a week. I have quite a few things set aside to bring in addition to their bikes, but I was just seeing if you had other options that I do not have. I have bikes, water gun fight stuff, hiking, swimming in the lake, fishing, sand toys, football, horse shoes, paddle ball, softball stuff, hacky sacks, basketball, kickball, bubbles and stuff like that. Since this is my idea for camping i'm trying to make it as memorable as possible for us all and that we enjoy ourselves the whole time. We also have a microscope to look at cool things and a telescope for nighttime, bracelet making stuff, coloring books, etc.
I don't bring up many toys, actually. (The only time I really bring up toys is when we have a baby that isn't walking. Then I bring up an extra pack n play to have on the site and I put baby toys in there to occupy the baby while we're trying to get things done around teh site or meals made and the baby can't be held.) We have a very pared down amount of sand toys for the lake (a couple of buckets and shovels and a few innertubes). The kids have their bikes, which they love using. We simply have never had much space in our car to bring much so we haven't and the kids entertain themselves pretty well. I do bring up little bug catcher kits that I typically find at the Dollar Tree during the summer. They like finding bugs and looking at them. I've also had a plastic egg carton that I brought eggs in and then when I didn't need it, my girls used it to fill up with dirt and put more bugs in. The kids go on "adventures" and explore around the campgrounds (nearby to our site and they have their whistles - our kids also know our campgrounds really well since they've gone to them so many times - we have also talked with them extensively about what to do if they are lost or if a stranger comes up to them and they always have a buddy). We play in creeks, go on hikes (around the lake and in other areas in the National Forest), and sometimes our kids get bored. We don't feel like we need to go out of our way to entertain them though, either. My mother-in-law brings up craft supplies and paper plates for the kids to do crafts at their table when they feel like it. The plates are sturdier than paper and they like to glue things they find (twigs, rocks, pine needles, etc.) onto them. (There was a paper plate drawn on in this video as I was showing the campstove area - not sure if you saw that.). This is something her mother-in-law would do for her grandkids so my mother-in-law is carrying on the tradition and my kids love it. We have a bunch of hammock strung up and the kids enjoy laying in those and one of the hammocks is between two closer trees and they are able to use it more like a swing than a hammock and they love that. If you have the room for all those toys/activities, that's great but I might suggest not bringing them all out or telling your kids about all the options and let them just explore in nature and get bored and have to come up with things themselves (this will take pressure off your to entertain them constantly and then you won't have to bring so much the next time ;). But, if you really need the activities for them, you'll have them still. Just a suggestion but do whatever feels best for you and your family. We do also bring up some cards games to play in the tent if it rains (which it has during the day for us in the past and that helps a lot when everyone is crammed inside the tent). Audiobooks would be a great idea too with a bluetooth speaker that you could play for everyone in the tent. When I was a teenager, we would play cards games at night with our friends we were camping with and that's one of my favorite memories of camping. Around the campfire, we tend to tell stories and have everyone contribute to the story by saying one sentence and then going around the cirlce adding to it. Our kids love doing this. We have also brought up riddle cards to try to figure out around the campfire as well. Well, I hope I have you some good suggestions. Let me know if you have any more questions. I hope you have a great trip!
@@SaraWeston couldn’t help but add my 2 cents - we’ve taken our kids camping since they were babies. It really never crossed my mind to bring toys. Children like new things. They’re in nature and like to use what they find to collect rocks, leaves, sticks or build things with the same rocks, leaves, and sticks. Getting out in nature means using that “nature” in my opinion. We’re going camping Memorial Day weekend and this time it will include my grandchildren. My granddaughter is artistic and might draw something amazing. We won’t even have phone signals, so my pre-teens will have to put the gadgets away and go hiking and swimming and We can’t wait.
I read the comments to see where you camped. Have you camped at Suttle lake in Oregon that’s what your camp place reminds me of
No, we haven't camped anywhere in Oregon yet. This is at Home Lake in the Sequoias near King's Canyon. We've camped in Northern California, Washington, and Wyoming (Yellowstone) so far. We have family in Oregon so we've only stayed with them but would like to camp there as well.
Oh & p.s. PAY NO ATTENTION to negative comments! If THEY want to do things differently, they absolutely can. But you continue to do what YOU do.
😁
You are correct. Dont worry abt others comments on waste.
I'm learning not to 😊
Many have already said this, but no guilt on the disposables. 💕 I've watched all 4 of your camping videos - are there 4 in total? I'll see if there are more in a sec, lol. My family of 5 is leaving for a 5 day camping trip this weekend - and it's my first time. 😅. I am a little nervous, trying to think of everything we'll need and plan meals and whatnot, so I'm doing research! Your videos have been some of the most helpful, very straightforward and practical, as well as thorough. Most I've seen are about tips and hacks, which is great, but for a newbie like me I need a more detailed overview of pretty much everything. Lol. Thanks for making these! 😊👍🏻💕
I'm so glad they've been helpful for you! That is exactly why I've made them - to help others out and hopefully give some good suggestions. How did your trip go?
@@SaraWeston - eh. Lol! We learned not to camp at Gulf Shores, AL in the summer! 🤣 The 5 foot alligator at our campsite was pretty cool, but we had thunderstorms 2 out of 3 nights we stayed, our tents leaked, my husband and 2 sons were stung by jellyfish, my youngest got eaten alive even though we practically drowned him in bug spray, and my van broke down on the way there. Lol! Despite all of that it wasn't too bad, we had a lot of fun/memorable moments too. But, we've decided camping is for cooler months in more mountainous areas, and hotels are for the beach. 🤣🐊
Oh wow I would love to go camping with you.we use to camp all the time but now my husband and I both have medical issues so we don't camp anymore
So sorry to hear that.
Block those people. We have 4 kids and anything to cut down clean up time is a must. Have fun!!!
your cooler should also be in that bear locker, along with tooth paste, lotions... bears of the sierras are scavengers.
That they are but so far we haven't had any issues keeping things in our car.
Hi, I'm also a long time tent camper and I love the ideas. Have you ever been to Calaveras Big Trees State Park?
No, we haven't been there before. I'll have to look it up...I see that it's north of Yosemite. I used to camp at Yosemite every year when I was a kid. We're wanting to take a big trip up to northern California and camp along the way. We'll have to keep this in mind as a possible stop. Is there anything that you particularly enjoy about this spot we should know about?
@@SaraWeston I love the campground. Its very family friendly. The river is amazing but very swift. There are lots of trails and ranger led activities for the littles. Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. There are bears and snakes however. One of my favorite things about it isn't actually in the park. It's a little lake just outside of the park in the town of White Pines. It's actually called White Pines Lake. Lots of beach, shallow water and picnic tables. Excellent place for the young ones to play in the water. I'm camping in the North Grove loop July 10th through the 18th (quarantine permitting) come say hi.
We all make decisions about which products to use based on our own circumstances. I don’t mind washing my dishes….but I am only one person camping….not 6! However I rely on my zip lock baggies for food storage.
I am curious about your set up and rain.? I have a 10 x 10 market tent that I use as my camp kitchen. I usually put up two walls, and in a rain storm, most of my gear stays dry enough.
We finally got a canapy for over the picnic table so that helps a lot - I talk about this in a video I'm putting out very soon 😃
I’m curious what you do for lighting during your camping? We use lanterns but I feel like it’s still pretty dark!
We have battery operated lanterns and it is pretty dark. We try to get things cleaned up before dark from dinner and then we typically have a camp fire so that helps some. Propane lanterns are definitely brighter but I like not dealing with those.
We string white Christians lights around our tent frame, from tent to loop around nearest tree, etc. They give plenty of light without being too bright at night.
* if you have a screen tent, you can swag the lights from pole to pole around the outside for plenty of light inside.
* If you go somewhere without electricity, they have solar run white Christmas lights
AND you can take solar garden lights that stake into the ground (like you get at Lowes) & poke them where your stakes are for your guy lines so no one trips over the ropes after dark or getting up super early to run to the johnny :)
Great set up for camping! What campground is this?
Thank you! This is Hume Lake in the Sequoia National Forest.
We always camp at camp edison. What is your best campsite at Hume lake?
I'm just going to copy and paste my response to this question from the other video you left it on as well 😉: We try to get a site at Hume Lake Campground in the teens to the 40s (those are all on the same loop - sorry I can't give you exact numbers for the range but I'm not sure exactly what they are without being up there). At this campground, there are 3-4 main loops and this one is our favorite. Others will camp at Princess Campground and then drive the 15 min to get to the lake - some people prefer this as it's farther away from the Christian Camp and they can be pretty noisy at night and the sound travels well over the lake to the campground. Hope that helps!
How did that mosquito repellent work out on your trip? Would you recommend it?
You know, I'm not honestly sure. We used it almost every night and sometimes during the morning but I couldn't tell if it really made a difference or not. I don't think I'd buy it again so I probably wouldn't recommend it. It was a neat idea, though :)
I noticed you don't use an Easy-up or other type of shelter over your table. What do you do when it rains?
We just kind of make due. It hasn't rained on us too much so that's helped. We just got back from this year's camping trip and we actuality borrowed a friend's easy up (it was already there and they were leaving so we got to keep it while we were there) and I loved having it. Now I want one! It helped so much by providing shade in the middle of the day and kept the table so much cleaner from things falling from the trees. I talk about/show it in a video I filmed while I was up there. 😄
Just a bit puzzled as to why you don't use the flysheet on your tent..
It actually didn't come with one (it says it has an "integrated rainfly" but I don't trust that)
Hope you don't mind sharing what site this is?
It's site #40 at the Hume Lake campgrounds.
Just my 2 cents, do NOT listen to the nay sayers, do what works for you and yours. As long as you pack out the trash, who cares ?!! Or tell them to come and do kitchen duty !! 1st time i watched one of your videos. Thx and i will be back for more.😊
Thanks for the encouragement and glad you liked it 😊
hoi! ik komm uits de nederlands
Welcome!
Ur going to need three cars next year with 6 kids. How r u going to keep the paper towels dry when it rains?
LOL! We actually are getting a full-size van in the next few months so our space/vehicle situation should be all set from here on out. Yay!
For the paper towels, we put a plastic grocery bag over them and secure it with sone clothes pins. It works well enough.
Oh, and is only 5 kids 😉
I hope whoever gave you the stove doesn't see this! 😆
🤣
Darlin, listen, there is much worse things than "wasting" paper. Time is more valuable and you never get it back. So the time it takes to clean dishes for 10 people, you can be spending TIME with those people.
Oh man... The sound of pregnant breathing. No offense. It just brings back that feeling of diaphragm compression and discomfort. Paper products=time gain! Beautiful time with your family. Enjoy! Thanks for the video.
You're welcome! And thanks for watching! (Yes, I feel the same way when I hear the heavy breathing from others during pregnancy when I'm not pregnant 🤣)
Felt like you were trying to catch your breath the whole time you were talking.. just breathe girl damn lol. Cute set up... very distracting. Stop for a sec and catch your breath geez.
Yup! Welcome to being pregnant 🤣
You already mentioned the paper plates and plastic topic yourself. But please for the sake of our Environment switch to using biodegradable soap/shower gel. There is no reason to harm nature with our chemical stuff and that change really takes no further effort on you.
Happy Camping 🏕
ease your burden.??... I get it but damn make your kids do all that stuff...or your husband...I mean its not like all the men are out hunting for food...
As the kids have gotten older, I have had them help more. Sometimes it's still easier, in the moment, just doing things yourself versus taking the time to train your kids (especially when you have young ones around). It may seem counterintuitive, but there it is. Now that there older and I have less young ones, I feel like I have the mental/physical capabilities to train more, which I know will help in the long run. And my husband does do a lot to help while we're camping; I just didn't talk about it.
