Sleeping Bags

There are a lot of sleeping bags out there to choose from. For family camping, we have found that it’s sometimes best to take two sleeping bags, open them up, zip them together with each other to make one big sleeping bag! We also find that bringing along a child’s favorite blanket and/or pillow helps them to sleep better. We typically bring extra blankets with us. If it’s cold at night we place the blankets underneath our sleeping bags to give us extra warmth from the cold ground.

When shopping for sleeping bags, look to see what the temperature range is on the bag. If you plan to camp out early spring or late fall, you’ll want bags that can sustain cold weather. Our kids have told us that they like the mummy type of sleeping bag the best. You’ll even find that you can get away with just pillows and blankets from home! Click to return to Camping Gear.
