Looking for feeback on this:

It's time to book one of the campsites that we usually go to for summer camping as they fill up very quickly. I don't want my children to be cheated of that experience. What worries me, though is that H being missing will really negatively affect their experience of it. And frankly it would be exhausting for me to do that. I'm not willing to try to organize it with other families/friends...for many reasons it's unlikely to work.

I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to invite H to come camping with us, but do it as separated parents. He could have his own campsite or even stay elsewhere on the island, have his own car, his own time with the kids, etc. In theory it could be like it is here, but in a different setting. It wouldn't be the same as a family vacation but it might need the kids' needs to do that with us, and create some breaks and breathing room for me.

Good idea? Bad idea? The kids love camping and family vacations are super important to them.
