Answer: 
Find your camping spots and reserve where you can. http://woodalls.com/ lists all that there is and you can make reservations through http://www.reserveamerica.com/ or http://www.recreation.gov/ Planning now for summer is great since reservations go fast for the better, popular destinations also keep in mind that gas will rise to $4.00 a gallon by June, so watch that budget. Check lists abound on the web for what to bring here is a good one, http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/family+camping+checklist.html Food is easy bring simple foods that all like and stop for a pizza on the road nobody likes to hassle with cooking right when you get to your campsite with dinner made you can focus on dessert and making smores.
