Family camping hack: Store next day's clothes at the foot of the sleeping bag

Despite the summer heat, mornings at the campground can still be chilly. Heather's tip keeps kids organized and warm at the same time:

When camping, we put the kids' clothes for the next day inside the feet of their sleeping bags before they go to sleep. This serves two purposes. First, they know exactly what they need to change into before leaving the tent in the morning. Second, their clothes are toasty warm despite the chilly morning air. (The adults often use this hack on their own clothes for the second reason!)

Third, it's like a magic trick when you come out of your sleeping bag completely dressed! I remember being in complete awe of my brother when I was 5 or 6 when we were camping and he did this.

change clothes? On a camping trip? really?! That's why we come home so dirty! j/k.

works great unless your child still has bedwetting issues. Then not only the sleeping bag, but the spare clothes are also wet
