X2... My lad was camping at 8 weeks...

Took him "offroad" once he had the strength the support his head.

I was 14 when I first went camping my little one is 3 years old and still hasn't wife wont have it

don't take me wrong she doesn't mind it her self we camped for weeks on end driving from NSW to WA we didn't have our little one at the time

my wife thinks very little of the idea of taking infants camping further then a caravan park due to emergencies, to good of a mother, yeah some times you can be to good

Didn't go camping until I was about six due to petrol rationing. I think my boys were camping about the same age. Grandchildren were camping before one for at least the most recent one, although I don't remember the exact age, or when the older ones started.

I was about 7. We just came back from my little girl's first camping trip. She's 3 and loved every minute of it.

I was about 3 the first time I slept in a tent. Holidays were typically in caravans until I was about 10 or 12, after that, always tents... I spent at least 2-3 weekends a month under canvas as a teen.

Cheers all, we are debating if I take my oldest Harry to Cooma and I'm camping at Snowtels. He is Two and a half and very adventurous.

Cheers again, Easo

11 years old I use to go by myself and hiking quite often. Usually Heathcote National Park as it was close and much nicer then Royal. Would head out almost every weekend.

Would often do mountain bike trips through there which was great.

My parents took me to Bendethra when I was 12 weeks old and the High Country when I was 12 months old. It snowed.
