In October, 2023, my husband and I hiked 124 kilometers (77 miles) of the Camino de Santiago with our 2.5-year-old toddler and 4-month-old baby. We carried everything for the four of us ourselves (no porter service) in one 60L backpacking backpack and one day pack sized backpack just for diapers and wipes. We used everything we took aside from our rain gear since, fortunately, it didn’t rain on us! Here is our complete packing list and thoughts on each item if applicable. If you’ve been thinking about hiking the Camino de Santiago but not sure if you can do it with your kids, I hope this inspires you to go for and to not feel overwhelmed by the packing process (just remember, less is more!)
