Camping with a 1yr old for summer, tips?

We took Caleb camping a few of times when he was 7-8 months and again at 18-19 months. We put him in his portacot which also doubles as a playpen but didn't end up using the playpen. We found a buggy style pram invaluable for rough terrain (walking to the loos or beach) and he slept in it really well during the day. He stayed pretty close to us as he was in an unfamiliar surroundings so I never felt he was at risk, although I wouldn't recommend camping right on the beach or beside water. I took plenty of snacks, fruit, bread and canned baby food for him because I couldn't rely on him getting hungry when our meals were ready. I actually find him quite easy to take away because he will curl up in my lap, his pram or the carseat when driving to sleep and is still in nappies so no dashing to the toilets.

It does get cold at night so you need extra bedding. You also need to be careful about exposure to the sun during the day because you can't ask them to stay in the shade for a few hours like you would an older child.
