Preparation is essential for any outdoor adventure. Having the necessary supplies and equipment can make a difference in your overall enjoyment and experience. Checklists are a great tool to help with your organization. Your camping list will vary according to the type of camping and activities you have planned, the places you are going, the time of year and the length of your trip. Add or remove items to suit your individual needs. Please email us with any other items that you would include in your camping checklist or write comment below.
Tell someone of your plans - give details of where you are going and when you expect to return, give directions and possible alternative roads that you may take, provide cell phone numbers, vehicle description and license plate numbers, hand-held radio channel and codes that you will use, and provide local authority phone numbers (State Police, Game & Fish Commission, Sheriff Dept, etc.) for the county or area that you will be in.

I have camped for years and still your list was great to have! Would have forgotten some essentials for camping! Especially the “S’mores”. That is a must have! Thank u.
I put a small tarp under my tent.
Awesome list!
I agree with almost everyone here that this is an awesome checklist. I just packed to go camping on the beach. And if I did not look at this list I would have forgotten multiple things.
The printable checklist will be handy for our next camping trip. Thanks!
