I'm assuming you mean your kids are 4 and 6 years old, not 4 and 6 months???
We camped with a pop-up until the kids (boy and girl), were about 16 years old and started working jobs and then quit traveling with us. Never had a problem. The kids knew the routine, knew their space, and accepted the space and sleeping arrangements as just a fact of life.
Starting your kids out that young, in 5 or 6 years, they's never question anything.
Now, about you? You need to adjust from the first day! Take the basic essential and keep it that way. You really don't need an entire warehouse of "stuff" for a couple of kids. And don't let them drag along a bunch of stuff they will never play with either. Basically, you need something to keep the kids entertained when traveling. And really.... a portable DVD player is the absolute best baby-sitter.
Once at the campground ... let them discover their own method of playing. You don't need to drag along a bunch of toys. They may make friends with other campground kids, and next thing you know, they are climbing trees, digging holes, and looking for bugs.
Good luck.
