Geez... I'm sure I'm going to get beat-up on this one, but....
The question would seem to be why are you taking them camping? If it is because you don't want to be away from them, or don't have the option of reliable care while you are away - then I can see the infants and babies going along - as long, (as mentioned) the adults are prepared and capable.
but... if the reason is to "expose them to the beauty of nature," well, that's different. Of course it could just be me, but try as I might, my earliest memories only go back to 4 or 5 years old - maybe some of you folks can remember when you started crawling - not me.
So if a kid isn't going to remember it... then why? I would think that 4 or 5 would be the earliest to take kids camping - for the purpose of experience and learning, and of course the fun. Anything sooner than that would seem like it's more for you than the kids.
