ok so me and my partner have a 2.5 year old and im due for another baby in Feb
we've always wanted to do lots of outdoors activities etc and we're thinking that when the baby is a couple months old we might go on a weekend camping trip
(keep in mind we have NO supplies, no tent, no nothing) so from experienced family campers can you give me a list of Must Haves list, you can include some nice to have things in too i guess.
just all the essentials that you couldnt go without and made the experience funner and easier
thanks :)

Places to camp at? HELP!?

Ok so I am going on vacation to somewhere in the middle of Illinois ( to visit my uncle) and my family was talking about a camping trip. Where are some places in Illinois that will let you camp in a tent and be on your own and not many people will be around? should I go to a camp site or is there a legal place we could go? Please help thank you! On the campsites websites it didn't say whether you had to stay in a cabin or a tent.
Answer
Illinois commercial camp areas usually have electric outlets, potable water, portable toilets, harsh lighting, lots of litter, people, their vehicles coming or going at all hours. I doubt you'll see any stars overhead or hear hungry racoons carry away another poodle. Try www.koa.com for their locations.
State and County Parks get more visitors but the staffing is
more inclined to enforce posted rules. I'd bring my car-top
boat. Most rivers and lakes have public parking access,
ramp-side lavatory, with my choice of shoreside fishing
locations to tent in. No fire, no noise, and no poodles.
