Ever been camping in Maui with kids? It's fun! But unless you're prepared, it can be tricky.
So what toddler camping gear on Maui do you need to bring along for an overnight trip?
At Maui Vacation Equipment, we've compiled this list of tips and tricks to help you learn more about the must-have toddler camping gear on Maui and how to plan an awesome camping adventure.
1. Make sure the weather is appropriate for an overnight camping trip
Camping with bad weather is seriously a bad idea. So, before you plan anything specific, make sure to check the weather channel. The last thing you want is to spend the entire time stuck in a wet tent.
2. Make a list and rent your essential toddler camping gear on Maui
If this is not your first camping trip, you probably already know what you need. But just in case, here's a lost of the most essential items you'll most likely need to bring along with you:
Camping tent - of course, for an overnight stay, you'll need to rent a tent. Nothing says family fun more than having a sleepover with the kids!
Sunscreen and bug spray - bringing along some sunscreen is a must, especially for your kids. And the bug spray, trust us, you're gonna need it;
Bring enough clothes for your kids - children playing in nature tend to get quite dirty. Make sure you bring enough clothes for them so they can change;
Bring enough layers for the whole family - you'll be surprised at hoe chilly it can get overnight in Maui, so make sure you bring enough layers for everyone;
Rent a mattress - even on a camping trip, you can still make sure you and your family will get a good night's sleep!
Bring snacks - although you may find places to get a snack on your way to the camping site, it's best if you get a cooler bag and bring enough food, snacks and water with you anyway, especially for the kids.
3. Bring some toys from home for your family camping adventure
You can rent all the toddler camping gear on Maui you want, nothing will replace the familiarity of your child's own items. If your kids are attached to certain toys, make sure you bring them along on your camping trip. An overnight stay in a place your kid is not familiar with may feel better if they have their favorite toy to calm them down and play with.
4. Research the best camping grounds on Maui and pick one for your trip
On to the next important step: researching the best camping areas on Maui.
