Hammock camping with 2 kids

[gratefuldanny]

definitely get a hammock! more independence for all the campers. I am going to take my nephew for his first hammock camping trip. I am excited and he is ecstatic. Will let HF know how it goes.

I've taken my two boys hammock camping several times. You can read about most of the trips here (with pics):

When they were young like yours, I'd hang them together under the same tarp and I was nearby. They keep each other company and I was ready if anything happened. with the bigger tarps, you might be able to hang three under the same tarp, which would be convenient when you can find a suitable site. That would limit your site selection a bit.

Now, I normally go with my wife and younger son. We hang two hammocks under one tarp and one by itself. Even when there are only two of us, I always take two tarps in case the sites don't work out...I think each hammock should at least have a minimal tarp just for safety. I've hung two taps overlapping so we could have one big space, though. That's what I'd recommend if you'll be farther than a mad dash from the car.

If you're car camping, just bring a ginormous tarp.
