Any "must haves" for camping with kids?
We're just starting out with 4 kids aged 3-10. Anything we must bring along. We're planning to bring some board games just in case we get rain. Any suggestions for us newbies?

Balls,... kickballs, footballs, bouncy balls, baseballs, soccerballs, etc. Any kind of ball to get the kids outside and having fun. (we usually keep a nerf football in the RV just incase)
Also agree on the flashlights. Grab a cheap pack of different color LED flashlights from any of the big box stores, and let them choose their own colors.
To go along with the flashlights and handheld radios.... batteries. Because the kids will forget to turn them off and you don't want to be the only one with out a flashlight. (due to chances of leaving them on I recommend cheaper batteries)
Kids not only enjoy glowsticks but they also become welcome nightlights at bed time to light the way to the bathroom inside the RV.
Whistles are one of the most important things that we have in our RV, our daughter or her friends don't leave the campsite without wearing one. Yes, one for each child.
Oh yeah, one other thing... a First-aid kit. Scrapes and bruises are going to happen, better be prepared with lots of band-aids, neosporin, anti-itch cream, and bug spray.
