Camping with Children in Your Nest By Airstream™

Planning a family camping trip? Traveling in your Airstream® Nest with your kids can be a fun and extremely rewarding experience that allows them to learn and grow, expanding their horizons and making some lasting memories along the way.

Keep It Fun

Many kids struggle with the long hours sitting in the vehicle. You’ll need to be proactive about this and ensure that they’re having a good time. During the day, when you’re traveling or are at the campsite, you can visit popular attractions nearby. Depending on your children’s ages, there are different activities you can try. Some examples include art projects, board games, and so on. Let kids choose their favorite toys, movies, and books to bring. Another way to keep kids happy is to have music on hand with their favorite tunes loaded up and ready to go. Involve the children to help build the music playlist or assign them tasks so they feel included. You could also give each child a journal to write their travel experiences with colorful pens and stickers.

Secure Sleeping Arrangements

After a long day, your kids will need a comfortable place to sleep, where they can relax and get some rest so they’re not too tired for the next day. This means you’ll want your Airstream Nest trailer to have enough bunks and beds for every child. Check that the temperature isn’t too hot or too cold in your camper and dim the main room lights. You can use sleeping bags on fold-out beds if you need more space.

Choose Kid-Friendly Places

When you’re planning a trip in your Airstream Nest trailer, involve your kids in the decision-making process and keep your camping activities around what they love to do best. This could be either swimming, horse-riding, or a sport they love to play. Museums, parks, playgrounds, and zoos are all great attractions to visit. Keep hikes and museum trips short, ensuring that you don’t miss meals and breaks in between the busy itinerary. But don’t be afraid to break from a schedule if the kids see a great playground where they feel like playing soccer, instead of whatever was planned.

Encourage Learning

You’ll want to make sure your children learn new things while they travel. As you drive, you can have them look at mapping apps or a big road atlas to follow along with the route. Have them read up on the cities and towns you’re passing through and stop at historical sites on the way, probably matching the information with a school lesson or TV program they’ve experienced. If you’re on a hike, you can have kids draw or take pictures of plants and animals and learn how to identify them from a nature guide.

Think about what’s going to make you and your kids happy and plan your trip accordingly. Airstream of Utah is here to help you enjoy every moment of your vacation in the Airstream Nest trailer.
