Don't forget that your kids (and the adults) may (most likely) will have buddies that will ask or be asked to join...especially after my two kids (girls) tell their buddies how much fun they had...re-telling stories of their dad falling off that big rock into the stream...etc....etc...
As for beds...sleeping bags were/are more fun for all of the kids...including me when they wanted to sleep outside...gotta be there watching my little gals...
Remarkable how those extra buddies also have so much stuff...bicycles, lawn chairs, food, drinks, extra clothes (girls...) and now me with the extra safety stuff...remarkable how stuff adds up in a hurry...
Oh...the dog and his stuff...food, bedding, toys...
Another...firewood..."Dad, don't you remember when we ran out of firewood that last trip...you said you would bring more this trip..." How can you say no to that???
Go load up as if going RV'ing and weigh it...betcha there might be a surprise there...but gotta know before the purchase, IMHO...
