Camping Checklist and Camping Essentials

 
Author: LJ Stewart

One of the most difficult things about getting ready for camping is getting organized and trying to remember what gear to bring. I have been using this list for over 15 years- modifying it slightly here and there. Its amazing how little camping has changed. Even when you add children to the mix the stuff to bring doesn't change all that much. Over the years we have found that it is actually easier to keep most of this packed up and set aside for camping. So we have a bin filled with things like table cloth for picnic table, tablecloth clamps, can opener, corkscrew, cutlery, etc. Everything we need is there and we don't have to worry about packing. Most these I picked up at garage sales or dollar store.

Personal Items to Take Camping

  • Toothbrushes/Toothpaste
  • Shampoo
  • Deodorant
  • Soap
  • Razor
  • Sunscreen
  • Bug Repellent
  • After Bite or similar ( Tip: After Bite is just ammonia. Use a Q-tip and dip in dollar store bottle of ammonia)

    Grilling and Cooking Supplies for Camping

  • Coleman Stove or similar
  • Hibatchi or portable grill
  • Cutlery
