<p>We're a family of 4 - two adults, one toddler and one infant (5 months) recently moved to the US for a year. We'd like to go camping for a few long weekends this month and next on the East coast (as far North as Acadia) but need to buy gear because we've left most of our stuff at home.
Can anyone provide some recommendations for essential kit? Currently I'm looking at:</p>

<ul>
<li>6 man tent</li>
<li>Air Bed</li>
<li>2x adult summer sleeping bags</li>
<li>sleeping bag liners</li>
<li>sunshade, picnic blanket, bug spray, head torches, stove, etc.</li>
</ul>

<p>I don't know what to put the kids to sleep in, though and not sure about sleeping mats, etc for them. Can anyone advise me?</p>
