Camping List For Beginners

Camping List

When you decide to go out on a camping trip, overpacking is usually the biggest issue people run into. Here is a camping list that I feel will get anyone started in the wonderful world of camping! Simply click on any item to learn more about it.

Making a camping list is very important to make sure you do not forget anything important. I like to break my camping list up into sections.

Shelter

Having a nice dry comfortable place to call home for the weekend is very important. Make sure to bring a Tent that can breathe. This will keep condensation from accumulating and also keeps you from overheating at night. Laying a Tarp or Footprint under your tent will protect the floor of your tent from moister or damage caused by sticks and pine needles.

Camp Tools

These tools will help you set up and tare down camp. They will also help with fire making. When working with Tools always make sure to have a First Aid Kit available.

Camp Needs

Sitting around camp is one of the most relaxing things there is. Having all of these things handy will make your experience much more comfortable and tolerable. Make sure to keep bugs out of your cups, cans, and food.

Night Time Needs

When the sun goes down and the woods get calm having a way to light up the path in front of you or finding items at camp will be much easier.

Camp Cooking

One of the best parts about camping is all the delicious meals and snacks. Make sure you have a way of preparing everything you bring.

Clothes

Make sure to Bring enough clothes for each day. Also, no matter what the weather make sure to bring pants to keep the bugs away. Something warm to change into at night is always a plus or after swimming.

  • Swimsuit
  • Shirts
  • Shorts
  • Pants
  • Hoodie
  • Shoes
  • Sandles
  • Undergarments

This list is just a starting point to make sure you do not over pack or forget something that will make your stay in the woods less than amazing. Feel free to print this list off and use it on your next big camping trip.
