Food. Lots of food. You might find the best spot in the world, have wonderful weather, but if their is not enough food, that is all they will remember. Food makes for a happy Camper.

A mouth gag for you and maybe your partner. Nylon tents do not muffle the sound of passion. And your neighbors are very close by. They may or may not like having to explain what all the noise was the night before to there 8 year old.

A freesbee and soccer ball are alway in my car. Anyone can play, and quite often other kids will join in.

Sometime I will make Jiffy-pop-popcorn. The one that comes in the pie plate. I use leather construction gloves (part of my fire gear along with an ax and a collapsible water bucket) and cook it over the coals.

Do a color nature hunt - get the kids to write down 8 colors, and then have them go and look for them in Nature. Don't let them pick the items (that is against the Law in many State and Federal Parks), they should call you and show you what they have found.

Get them to run around the campground and write down as many different State and Provincial license plates as they can. Then they have to find them on a Map.
