Having a baby does not imply in any way having to give up enjoying other activities. Enjoying a mountain campsite in Berguedà with a baby is possible as long as you take into account some considerations.
In this article we are going to show you that it is really possible to enjoy camping with babies. In addition, being on a family campsite in the middle of nature can also be good for your health.
To make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible and that you don’t have any problems when going to a campsite with small children, pay attention to everything we have to tell you.
How to make the most of the camping experience with your baby
One of the most important aspects of enjoying a campsite with your baby is to choose a campsite in nature that has good services. At Berga Resort you will have at your disposal everything you need to make your stay with your baby as comfortable as possible, both for you and your baby.
This means having a family accommodation that has basic amenities such as bathrooms or a lawn area as well as shade. When considering accommodation, try to make sure that it is in the middle of nature, but close to a town. This way your baby will have anything he may need nearby and will be away from the noise of the city.
When traveling with infants, it’s also important to consider the temperature. The best times of the year to enjoy camping with a baby are usually spring or autumn camping. In these seasons the temperatures are usually somewhat milder and it is much more comfortable to be in a mountain bungalow than in the summer.
Essential preparations before the trip and what to bring camping with babies
Preparations are also important. If you have the possibility, it’s a good idea to try to emulate a camping pitch in your own garden for an afternoon or evening. Doing a small camping at home will help you see how you can handle your baby, how he reacts to being in an outdoor environment and, of course, test the equipment you have.
This small test can give you valuable insight into your baby’s behavior. Preparation is very important in these cases, so we recommend that you plan your routine with your baby from home. This involves taking into account the sleep and feeding schedule that can affect when you go on a rural getaway with babies. Even if you are camping, try not to alter your schedule for greater safety.
When choosing what to bring to a campsite with babies, you must take into account their rest, food, hygiene and safety. All these are the most basic and important aspects, although you can always count on a special luxury such as an all-terrain baby carriage, especially if you plan to go hiking with children or activities for babies.
Bring a fold-out travel bed or baby sleeping bag with you. These bags are prepared so that they can stay warm and not get cold despite being in the field. Don’t take risks with food and bring everything you need. Bring enough powdered formula for your bottle, bottled water, and, if you drink solids, a couple of ready-made snacks or purees.
Don’t forget the necessary spoons or bibs and, if you plan to eat around, a high chair will be quite helpful.
For its hygiene , diapers, wet wipes and chafing cream should not be missing for any day. If you can carry a portable changing table with you, it will help you a lot in the task of changing it. Your safety is paramount, so always carry a first aid kit and baby sunscreen with you along with a baby hat. This infant sunscreen along with warm baby clothes or light baby clothing is essential.
Finally, if you want your baby to always be comfortable, you can take one of his favorite toys or his blanket for the floor with you so that he can crawl and play safely.
Essential equipment for camping with a baby
A good night’s sleep is essential and the baby should not differentiate whether he is at home or camping. For this reason, it is essential to have a spacious tent or bungalow where you can make use of your travel cot and baby sleeping bag.
For hygiene and care you should always carry spare diapers and baby wipes and a portable changing table to make it more comfortable. Don’t forget soap and towel to clean the baby, as well as their accessories such as bottles.
For the baby’s safety and health, always carry sun and insect protection and don’t forget a first aid kit with the essentials. Remember to always wear appropriate clothing, both in case it is cold and if it can be hot since the weather in the mountains can be changeable.
Finally, remember that it is also important that your baby can be entertained and rest comfortably when you are not carrying out family activities. Bring some of their favorite toys with you so they can spend their time better.
Baby safety and wellbeing tips at the campsite
Your baby’s safety and well-being should be top of mind when you go camping with your baby. This involves much more than bringing him his travel cot, baby food or diapers, as you have seen, you must always respect his schedule and try to make sure that he is as good as possible.
To do this, you should think about it when setting up your tent or camping. If you’re camping outdoors, inspect the area well and avoid camping near a campfire or steep slopes. Always choose a flat surface free of rocks and branches.
Remember to protect their skin well with baby sunscreen. A children’s sunscreen especially in the middle of the day, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m ., in addition to wearing a small wide-brimmed hat. You should also be aware of the insect bite. Use an insect repellent for babies and if you go to a bungalow with a cot, make sure that it has mosquito nets.
To improve the baby’s well-being, attention must always be constant. Make sure that he is always well hydrated, his body temperature is adequate and extreme hygiene. Wash your hands frequently, especially before holding the baby, and change their diapers regularly to prevent the proliferation of germs.
Activities adapted for families with babies
A baby’s visit to nature can be very fruitful for him. There are many adapted activities, especially hiking with baby carriers. The good thing about going to Berguedà is that there are many hiking trails to choose from, so there are flat and easy trails so that the baby is always at ease and comfortable while enjoying the views.
This is undoubtedly the most interesting aspect, the observation of nature. Interact with your baby by pointing out trees, birds, insects… Even if you think your baby doesn’t understand anything you’re saying, it’s good for him to get used to listening to your voice and seeing the things you point out, since you’ll be practicing very important stimulation.
The best advice we can give you is to keep it simple. Spend time outdoors feeling the breeze, always prioritizing your baby’s comfort and safety. At an outdoor campsite you can enjoy yourself throughout the day in many ways, from watching forests and rivers in the morning with your baby to falling asleep at night stargazing at the stars while taking their bottle.
