Camping with my 16 month old and 5 month old. Any stores/websites where I can buy gear?

We are tent camping with a few tents and they will be sleeping in their own pack n plays in a cabin tent with me. I have a summerguard gate for toddler to play in without wandering. But what other stuff could I get to make life easier. Everything including things helpful for feeding, changing, just overall making it more comfortable. Planning on it being a great time but I like to be prepared. There will be lots of room on the sites, a beach, playground, snack bars and bathrooms etc., this is not extreme camping I’m talking about.
Bring healthy snacks along on your camping trip, including 100% juice boxes, water, dried fruit (e.g. raisins, apples, or dates), trail mix, fresh whole fruit, baked veggie chips, no-added sugar applesauce in individual containers. Follow these steps to keep your food safe:
* Pack foods in tight, waterproof bags or containers. Keep them in an insulated cooler.
* Wash hands and surfaces often.
* Separate raw foods from cooked foods.
* Cook foods to proper temperatures (i.e. ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees).
* Chill foods promptly.
