Camping in Napa With a Toddler

I’ve learned that as a first time parent, weekends with toddler is so fun and doubly exhausting. This weekend we decided to brave a one hour trip to Napa wine country. We scrambled to pack, of course, and it wasn’t perfect but it was worth it to see our little one enjoy their first camping experience. Luckily our friends are always more prepared than us so our trip was saved by our good friends.

Itinerary with a toddler

Lunch @Oxbow Market
Wineries are by reservations only so plan accordingly!
Bothe State Park camping notes
- no wood fires - check before you go
- quarter showers & clean flushing toilets
- pool was closed but river was ankle deep for splashing

Next day

Breakfast in Calistoga
Santa Rosa Children’s museum -I got free tickets with Discover & Go. We easily spent 2 hours here
Lunch @Amy’s drive thru - vegetarian fast food
- kids coloring pages and lots seating options

Food and wiggles out before road trip back home helped us a bunch.
