What Should You Bring With You For Camping?
Essentials
The first items on my list are what I call "Essentials." It's possible I might not need one of these items on a particular trip, but if I do (and chances are, I will), I'll have it. These are important things every camper will probably need sooner or later, including:
- Lawn chai
What Should You Bring With You For Camping?
Essentials
The first items on my list are what I call "Essentials." It's possible I might not need one of these items on a particular trip, but if I do (and chances are, I will), I'll have it. These are important things every camper will probably need sooner or later, including:

Camping Gear
If you're staying in a trailer or RV, you may not need to worry about many of the items listed below. But we are assuming you're going to be tent camping. That being the case, some items you may want to bring include:
- Tent, tent fly, poles, stakes and ropes (set up the tent before leaving to be sure everything is there and you know how to put it up)
- Hammer or hatchet (for driving tent stakes; keep it in the tent bag)
- Ground cloth (to go under the tent and keep it clean and dry)
- Sleeping bags

- Ice chest (may need a couple)
- Beverage/water jugs (very important!!!)
- Camping shower (optional)
- Ax and/or hatchet, hammer and shovel
- Broom
- Small wagon
Food
Plan your meals before leaving home, and make a list of all food items you'll need using your menus as a guide. Some campers like to have elaborate outdoor meals, while others prefer not to cook at all. Either way, here's a list to help you remember some of what you might need:
- Meats (hamburger, hot dogs, steaks, bacon, sausage, chicken, turkey, fish, etc.)
- Dairy products (milk, cheese, etc.)
- Eggs
- Bread, buns, biscuits, crackers
- Vegetables (potatoes, beans, corn, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, salad dressings, syrup, BBQ sauce, etc.)
- Drinks (bottled water, coffee, tea, sodas, Kool-aid, juice, etc.)
- Staples (flour, corn meal, sugar, salt, pepper, herbs, spices, butter, cooking oil, etc.)
- Snack foods, dessert ingredients
Cooking, Food Service and Cleanup
The items you'll need for preparing meals, serving them and cleaning up will once again vary greatly according to your own preferences. Here are some to consider for your list:
- Camp stove, fuel
- Charcoal & lighter fluid
- Firewood
- Grill, cooking grate
- Reflector oven
- Skillet, pots and pans
- Carving/cutting knives
- Spatula, tongs, serving fork and spoon
- Can opener
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Aluminum foil
- Plates, cups, bowls
- Plastic and/or metal flatware (forks, spoons, knives)
- Scouring pads, detergent
- Plastic zip-loc bags
- Garbage bags
- Paper towels, dish towels
- Oven mitt, pot holder
Basic Emergency Gear
"Plan for the worse and hope for the best." That old saying has merit when you're camping. Always be prepared just in case something unexpected happens by having on hand a tool kit that includes a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers and wrenches; a repair kit that contains such things as duct tape, wire, nylon twine, superglue and rope; and a first aid kit that includes all or some of the following basic items:
- Band-Aids
- Gauze pads
- Adhesive tape
- Tweezers
- Needle
- Moleskin
- Antacid
- Ace bandage
- Bandages
- Sunburn relief
- Thermometer
- Sting kill swabs
- Scissors
- Cortisone (anti-itch) cream
- Antibiotic cream
- Antihistamine such as Benadryl
Amenities
Finally, you should consider what items will keep you comfortable and amused on your camping trip. If you're car camping and have the space, you can make your campsite luxurious with such items as hanging camp lights, a hammock and electric generators. Books, a radio, playing cards, your journal, board games, musical instruments and electronics chargers all add to a cozy domestic camping style.
What extracurricular activities will be part of your camping trip? List what you'll need: camera and film, field guides, binoculars, fishing tackle, hunting gear, bikes, kayaks. If you're leaving the campsite during the day, add a day pack or fanny pack to your list.
