Suggestions for Camping with 8 month old

[FionaW]

Hi, I'm in Melbourne, Australia. We are going camping at Easter and it will be the first time we take our daughter. She'll be almost 9 months old. We go to a site on a river that has nothing ... no power, no showers/toilets etc. Not my idea of the best time but my husband's family has been going there for 3 generations and he loves it. We'll be away for 4 nights, thankfully other family are also coming to keep our very mobile and active girl entertained. My biggest concerns are keeping Kate warm enough at night (temp will be in single digits) and having enough food for her. She's eating finger food and lumpy purees. Any suggestions on good foods that will last well in an esky?

We go camping every summer, and Irish summers are none too warm. At night time I just go with layers. Body, babygro/jammies, fleece version of same, sungglesac and blankets. And a hat if it seems particularly cold.

Food wise there is so much you can bring. I assume you will have some sort cooking facilities, if so it's easy to cook up any sort of veg to make finger food or roughly mash with a fork. Pasta is really handy too and makes a good finger food. All you need for those is a pot of boiling water. Fruit don't need cooking ofc. Breakfast cereal is handy too.
