so just packed cloths for me and 3 kids for 2 nights. I have packed an outfit for each day and 1 night outfit.
how do you all pack cloths when you go for a week or longer. do you take an outfit for each day (kids can get messy) do you plan to wash your cloths while you are away? when I go for a week it seems I will have to take way to much am I missing something.

It totally depends on what you intend doing . We have scruffy campsite cloths walking gear quick drying type stuff and a decent set for the pub or when you need to look a little smart . We nearly always pack to much clothing and we've cycled round the world so should know how to pack and travel light but kids and weather can conspire to make that difficult . if you could guarantee the weather 3 outfits or sets of cloths would be enough . cloths that can be mixed and matched work better than a specific outfit per day .
The best advice is trial and era .
Travel towels are the best space saving as well as being quick drying .

We don't take any 'going out' clothes as the most we would do is go for lunch in a 'dog friendly' pub, our evenings are spent sat with a beer outside (hopefully!) the tent. For a week stay I will usually take a couple of pairs of long shorts, couple of pairs of long trousers and a variety of vests and tshirts, might do a wash mid week if getting low on stuff, and take stuff that dries easily, that suits our type of camping trip. DH takes trackies and tshirts while DS (16) would live in the same pair of shorts all week if I let him! I think with small children it's easier to wash a few things out, most sites have washing facilities and tumble dryers if the weather's not up to drying outside, little things don't take long to dry.

We tend to keep the same pair of jeans/trousers/combats for sitting about camp in as that's where we get grubby.
Then have a few clean pairs for out and about, just change when we get back to camp.
A clean top and undies for each day, 2 hoodies/jumpers (pack 1 & wear 1) and a set of waterproofs.
Washing small bits out if needed.
Two sets of beach stuff so they can be rinsed out and worn alternate, board shorts and swim ware dry quickly.

Hi Jayne,
For our long summer vacation (usually 3 weeks) I take 7 outfits per kid, underwear for every day, set of pyjamas for each week, plus some sweaters/hoodies and some washing powder. Underwear, clothes and pyjamas go into compression bags, so that they take up less space in the car. A pair of flip flops and a pair of converse for each kid, and waterproofs and wellies if we go to rainy countries.
During the year I also save up clothes that are on the verge of being thrown away (small holes in underwear/t-shirts etc.), I take them with us for a trip, let the kids wear them for a dirty/muddy day and then throw them out.
Since we usually go to countries other than our own there's lots of unfamiliar shops to explore, so I usually purchase additional clothes for the boys anyway, they fit in the space of the stuff we've thrown out...
