Any "must haves" for camping with kids?

A sense of humor, a sense of adventure, and lots of patience. That said, a few good astronomy charts creates some exciting evenings. There are a few good easy to read books on different cultural views of the stars. The American Indians have their own star stories. Also a calendar of satellite passes makes viewing for satellites a fun evening activity. We always gave each of the children a small storage box and a blank photo-type album, so they could collect memories and put together a travel log during the drive. Patience is a must, as you cannot send the kids out to play on the highway. You just have to create a firewall from the noise and conversation. Also, they must understand that there is no tattling, we are a team, we work together, and it is nobodies fault.
Enjoy, create lasting memories, and Happy Trails.
