Sweet Little Weekends

Top 10 Things Parents Forget to Pack 🤭🏕️

1. Warm Layers (Yes!! Even in Summer)

Aussie nights get cold even after hot days. Always pack extra jumpers, thermals, and socks for the kids.

⸻

2. Extra Clothes (More Than You Think) 😂

Mud, water, food spills… kids go through outfits fast. One “just in case” set isn’t enough. Haha

⸻

3. Closed-Toe Shoes

Thongs are great, but kids need proper shoes for bikes, playgrounds, bush walks, and cold mornings.

⸻

4. Head Torches or Night Lights

Late-night toilet trips are real!! A small torch or clip-on light makes it way easier (and less scary).

⸻

5. Insect Repellent

Mosquitoes love campsite evenings. Pack kid-friendly repellent and after-bite cream.

⸻

6. Sunscreen (And Lip Balm With SPF)

Even cloudy days can burn. And dry, windy campsites can chap their lips fast.

⸻

7. Baby Wipes

Sticky hands, quick clean-ups, wiping tables, emergency showers… we swear the wipes solve everything!

⸻

8. Rubbish Bags

For wet clothes, dirty shoes, food scraps, or general rubbish. They’re lifesaving.

⸻

9. Power Bank / Chargers

Even if you’re “disconnecting,” you’ll still want your phone for photos, maps, or emergencies.

⸻

10. A Comfort Item From Home

A familiar pillow, blanket, or soft toy makes bedtime smoother, especially for younger kids.

Share and save for your next camping trip! ❤️
