About Lillian Johnson
Hi there! I’m Lillian Johnson, a mom of two adventurous kiddos and a lifelong lover of the great outdoors. I believe camping can bring families closer and create memories that last a lifetime—even if things don’t always go as planned! Through practical tips and heartfelt stories, I’m here to help parents feel prepared and excited to explore nature with their little ones (and not stress about the s’mores getting a little extra toasty). Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned camper, I hope my guides make your family adventures easier and a lot more joyful.
