Most of the time I go alone with a 6 year old son. My DH is not much for the camping scene. How old are you kids? I have been looking for other moms who like to camp and perhaps�have a large campout with moms and kids. �Never in all my years of camping have I had any trouble. Here are a few things I like to do: 1)� set up a extra lawn chair and hang my husbands shirt on it2) leave a extra pair of mens flip flops outside my tent by the door3) I have a small bat that I leave next to me in the tent4) Leave a coffee mug on the tableFirst appearance you would think a man is in the campsite.
@Becky: thanks so much - great safety tips! The kids are 3 boys: 14, 12 and 10 and a 7 year old girl. I love to camp and I am so glad to hear that there is another Mom willing to camp without the DH. Usually campers are a friendly group so I didn't start to worry until a guy at work said something that made me worry. I'm taking my cousin with me but she is 100 pounds soaking wet so I don't think she'll be much of a bodyguard LOL
I would love to join up with other camping Moms! My DH practically works around the clock so I usually have the kids on my own for stuff like this.
