Like most we camped when our kids were newborns to teens. In tents, pop-ups, travel trailers and now 5ers and never had any issues with then wondering along.
Side bar funny story:
Only once in Northern Ontario, I had forgotten our garbage bag out. (dumb on my part) Woke up to this strange grunting and hissing noise. Seems the raccoon had found their mid-night snack. OK, we can deal with the mess in the morning.
But unfortunately this had aroused the interest of a small black bear. The grunting got worst, then a thump under the bed and bump bump under the trailer floor.
Seems the bear had likely got fed-up with the pesky racoon and simply slapped it out of the way causing it to bump under the trailer while escaping. I gathered the kids and wife, crouched down in the bottom of the trailer and waited it out. After a few crunch crunch noises and what seemed like an eternity (likely just a few minutes) the noise stopped and the bear moved on.
True story... great campfire entertainment for the grand children.
