We have a 10 month old daughter who we just took on our first camping trip up to Big Trees in Calaveras. It was exhausting (trying to have her not eat dirt all day lol) but also so much fun! Overall, my husband and I are pretty experienced campers and have spent many years doing off roading and dispered camping with our jeep so we have lots of supplies! This is our first time though with having to worry about our baby getting cold at night! We brought her pack and play, her sleep sack, wool jammies as well as another set of jammies that we double layered with but she still got so chilly :(. It was a rough couple nights and ended having to have her sleep next to us to stay toasty. We have another trip in June right outside Yosemite so want to make sure she is better set up this time!
Does anyone have any good recommendations on how to keep little ones warm? We got a Kelty sleeping bag but its still wayyyyy too big for her. Almost thinking of bringing something to be able to plug in an electric blanket next time we go

We always co slept . It’s the best way to keep baby warm and easily monitored. If you are sober and dont have any medical conditions it will be totally fine. We made a big bed with sleeping bags open on top, extra blanket layers. Everyone was cozy and slept well
We used a Big Mo for our boy when he was younger.
We used these when my kids were babies. They worked great, and have a couple of different cold ratings. We’ve since passed them along to cousins, and they are still holding up years later.

Put your baby in a snow suit. Also when my kids were little I found baby sleeping bags made of down. Snow suit and down sleeping bags made them warm down to 30f
We did a puffy vest used like sleeping bag for our child once
