Decided to make a camping check list so that it is easy to remember which items need to be packed. This list is grouped by who will be attending and camp ground site options. That way it is easier to know what additional items to take, instead of making multiple lists.

Planning on going camping in the near future, so making an updated list of items to prepare.

Essential

  • tent
  • tarp for under tent
  • rubber mallet or hammer
  • sleeping bags
  • air mattress x2
  • sheets
  • cooler with ice, food, and water
  • firewood
  • lighter
  • hatchet
  • skillet
  • cups and plates / mess kit
  • dish detergent
  • clothes
  • flashlights (hand or headlamp)

Optional

Items that are not necessarily required, but may be useful if brought on the trip.

  • utility cart
  • drop cloth
  • chairs
  • poncho / rain coat depending on weather

With Kids

  • stroller
  • kids bikes or toys
  • diapers and wipes

Sites With Electrical Connections

There are some camp sites that I have found that do offer electrical connections at the camp site. These are additional items that can be brought when camping at these sites.

  • television
  • Raspberry Pi loaded with movies or TV shows
  • extension cord
  • work light
  • fan
