My early experiences camping were as a teenager in the deep woods of Ontario on fishing trips. Having to pull boats up river rapids and portage equipment was an amazing experience. I was hooked
While as an adult I haven't done that wild, when our daughter was little we made it a point to hike where ever we could, and to this day (she's 35) she loves camping and hiking.
I can't tell you anything about the area you are looking to camp in but I think you are doing a great thing for your kids. I wish you the best!
