Whats the youngest youd take your baby son camping on Camp site/tent not in the middle of the wilderness?

I would wait until my baby knew how to spell and use contractions.

I don't have kids of my own but I know many parents in my outdoor club who have taken really young infants camping, as young as 2 weeks in fact. Most say that under 6 months is really about the easiest age to take children camping for a number of reasons -- if they are nursing you don't have to haul much to feed them, they can't walk so they can't wander away and get into trouble, if it's warm weather you can let them crawl around with no diaper or pants (which babies like to do) and most babies love to be carried around in a chest or backpack carrier all day. I even know a couple who were skilled long distance paddlers who took their one month old son on a 6 week canoe trip in the Yukon. They built him a floating cushioned carrier with a sun and rain canopy over it that fit in the middle of the canoe. That was 27 years ago and he's now a professional white water rafting guide, so I guess the trip made an early impression.

Babies are pretty tough little critters. They had to be or our hunter and gatherer ancestors would never have survived.

Kayak is right; babies are tough. In the 1980s we took our baby son (only a few months old) all over the American Southwest on vacation visiting Anasazi ruins in a non-air conditioned VW bug. Whichever parent was in the passenger seat had a pillow on his/her lap and that was the baby bed. Car seat? uh..........

We climbed ladders to cliff dwellings, toured the Carlsbad Caverns, hiked all over the desert with son in a belly pack. Spent a week doing that. He loved it!

We did stay in cheap motels but it wouldn't have made any difference to him if we were in a tent.

A 3 month old baby doesn't know where he is and doesn't care.

When he was about 7 years old he hiked with us to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, carrying his own sleeping bag and water in a backpack.

i do no longer prefer to scare you with tenting-with-toddler horror thoughts, yet all I ask is which you have a delegated place for her to sleep, no longer in or close to a napping bag or pillow (you could think of why) additionally, the only noise undertaking is that maximum campgrounds have an after 10PM noise coverage, so if she's up and crying plenty, you may nicely be asked to alter campgrounds if it relatively is incredibly overdue or it occurs generally yet, we went to Yellowstone with our daughter, had an stunning time employing the toddler backpack and characteristic some large thoughts :)

We took our daughter camping at about 3 months old. This was a prearranged trip before she was born. No body really even knew she was there and we all had a great time. No problems at all.

I would only take my son if he was old enough to understand that wild animals are dangerous or if he was too young to get himself in trouble and we would only go if i felt secure on the campground. Some campgrounds may have fugitives on the run who live at them. Usually those camps are in a small town in the middle of nowhere. If you have a firearm for self defense and the camp allows it, then that might be a good option.

Once they are a week or two old there is really no reason why they can't go camping.

Anything over a couple of months old.

I say about 6months
