We are going camping 4th of July from the 3rd to the 8th. We have 3 daughters 7,3,and 1 yrs old. I've got all our gear and all ready but not sure how to stay organized and where to store all of the kids clothing? When you camped how did you keep your kids clothing together so its neat?

you dont lol. You just give them all separate bags and they will be destroyed by the first night looking for hem PJs! My parents were taking me caming since I was about 5 months old I am the youngest of 3 my brother is 2 yrs older then me and my sister is 4. There is really no way to keep clothes oranized esp when tent camping. plus your on vacation so you dont want to spend so much time organizing have fun!

I pack all of our clothes (5of us) in a big Rubbermaid tote...... And I am the only one that goes in it that way it stays organized...... Also keeps everything dry in case it rains

We tent camp,(hopefully next yr we will have a camper) but I was thinking of bring a 3draw tote for the clothes? Our tent is huge so I know we have the extra space,20feet long by 11high.

Lolol camping with kids isn't supposed to be organized. Much.

But a tote is your best bet.

lol we camp all the time and ive never found a way to stay organized, esecially if were tent camping. what i usually do is leave the suitcases in the trunk of the car and get what i need out of the trunk when i need it- that way the clothes dont end up all over the tent and soaked if you get any rain. we now have a popup camper thank god and that makes life much easier.

Clear totes and clear plastic bags : ) Go grocery shopping when you get to your destination and towards the end of your trip take all your clothes to a laundry mat. It's easier to fold and pack clean clothes back into a car than dirty smelly clothes... For the 1 year old I'd take a bunch of plastic grocery bags and use them as a linner in the portable potty seat incase you don't have water close to clean it out. Good luck and have fun!

I dunt worry about it, I just have a seperaate bag for the dirty clothes to go in...i let the kids pick their clothes, they are just going to get filthy anyways. Camping is one place I don't want to be too organized, unless it comes to food. One cooler for dry food and one for cold food, and one for misc, like dishes and stuff. Gl

I start by renting a luxury cabin...lol. I'm not a camper but I think the totes and ziploc bags sound great.
