We bring our kid’s bikes on every single camping trip – even if we’re not bringing ours. This allows them to bike while we hike. It also provides quick entertainment around the campground, nature’s cul-de-sac!
The image above is my 4-year old son biking at 9,500 feet in the Flat Tops Wilderness, Colorado.
For those of you with smaller children, you might try the Strider bike, which my 18-month old daughter could ride with ease, even through the mud!

Don’t forget an air pump for those bike tires. I use a foot pump like the Wilmar W1638DB.

I've been camping regularly since I was a kid, from quick Cub/Boy Scout trips to week-long backpacking trips and everything else in-between. We got a popup camper when our kids were 1 and 3 years old to enjoy more time outdoors together alongside a few conveniences like heat and running water. Since then, we've spent over 75 nights together as a family in our popup camper. I've learned a lot about the intricacies of a popup tent camper during this time and love to share those lessons here for the benefit of others.
