Pedialyte is a good idea too... sometimes the adult electrolyte replacement drinks are too tough on a young one's stomach...
Also Go-gurt (yoghurt in a tube) is a good idea... easier than cheese on the stomach though a little high in sugar.

One thing I recommend, from experience in the past with my son, take plenty
of bottled water. At that age, a change in water can be a recipe for
problems, from upset tummy to diahrrea. If you have a cooler, I'd go with a
good supply of his favorite juices as well. As mentioned before lots of
finger foods, fruits like apples and grapes, cheerios, and if I remember
correctly, gerber has a line of ready to eat toddler foods that don't have
to be kept cool or heated up. If you're taking a cooler, another fun treat
for him is string cheese, he can tear it up while eating it, but get him a
variety if he likes different flavors. Multiple sippy cups (or whatever
type cup he's using now) is always a good idea, that way he'll always have a
clean cup (or one to use while you're cleaning the other). Letting him
snack all day and not worrying as much about scheduled meals is usually a
good idea because he's in an unusual situation and likely excited and a
little bit hyper. Try to stick with his normal schedule as far as naptime,
bedtime, etc... You don't want it to be too different from the norm.

He's my first... and when I say camping with him for the first time by
myself, I mean camping for the first time EVER. I feel quite brave... or
stupid. Not sure which. >.>
