I know about the tent and sleeping bags. But for fire and food and going to the bathroom etc.
you need a cooler some ice (amount of ice depends on how long you're gonna be there i recommend buy it daily not all at once) think about what you're gonna do all day, example softball fishing, you want to take some bottled water for cooking drinking cleaning, charcoal and maybe a grill to cook, and of course some toilet paper most camp sites have out houses, they're not too pretty but they do the job, showers are harder to come across but not impossible to find. a radio comes in handy, take some flash lights with you the brighter the better most places dont have lighted camp sites so you might wanna take an oil lamp. and make sure you take enough clothes trust me the last thing you wanna do is get caught in some rain and have to wear the same clothes two days in a row just cuz you didnt pack enough
think about your activities from when you wake up til you go to bed, and make a list of the things you do and create a list off that Basic __ Matches/match case __ Water bottle __ Water purifier __ First Aid Kit __ Maps/compass __ Mirror/whistle __ Candles __ Sunglasses __ Flashlight/batteries __ Nylon cord __ Space blanket __ Watch __ Biodegradable soap __ Toilet paper __ Fire starter __ Knife General __ Backpack __ Sleeping bag __ Ground cloth __ Mattress/pad __ Tent/pegs/poles __ Tarp/rope __ Stuff sacks __ Boot/shoes __ Socks __ Underwear __ Long underwear __ Swimsuit __ Shirts __ Pants belt __ Shorts __ Sweater __ Poncho/rain gear __ Hat/cap/bandana __ Sunscreen lip balm __ Insect repellent __ Emergency shelter (tube tent/space blanket) __ Tooth brush/paste __ Towel/washcloth __ Comb __ Foods __ Snacks __ Beverages __ Stove fuel __ Fuel containers __ Knife, fork spoon __ Spatula __ Pots pans __ Pot grip __ Sierra cup __ Bowl(s) __ ID/money/keys __ Foil __ Trash bags __ Can opener __ Grill __ Cooking oil __ Safety pins __ Pad pencil __ Moleskin __ Gloves Accessories __ Pack rain cover __ Hammock __ Binoculars __ Thermometer __ Altimeter/barometer __ Sharpening stone __ Head lamp __ Fishing gear __ Lantern __ Spare batteries/bulb __ Saw/ax __ Trowel __ Radio __ Emergency rations __ Flare __ Thermos __ Staff/walking stick __ Seam sealer __ Scissors __ Sewing kit __ Tools __ Tape __ Field guides __ Maps __ Books __ Games __ License fishing/hunting __ Hand warmers/fuel With Vehicle __ Water cooler __ Ice chest ice __ Shade/screen tent __ Extra fuel/gas cans __ Heater/fuel __ Rope __ Bar-B-Q fuel/starter __ Tackle box __ Fishing pole __ Guns/ammo __ Horse shoes __ Dutch Ovens __ Lid lifter __ Cook book __ Lawn chairs __ Folding table __ Water carriers __ Dish pans __ Air mattress __ Jumper cables __ Balls/bats/mitts __ Camera/flash __ Tripod
my list::: water food- snacks to cereal to lunchmeat to whatever your having for dinner--bbq etc?? good idea to plan out all your meals and then throw in some snacks. store food in plastic bin or something to keep it secure from animals. camp stoves are nice you can cook pretty much anything. cooler (of course) camp chairs lots of blankets it can get pretty cold at night flashlights/ laterns screen rooms--in case in rains is nice for over the picnic bench. matches/lighters can opener cooking utensils pots pans silverware plates cups soap--to do dishes hand wipes/paper towels/napkins plastic bags for your trash air mattress or some good padding for your sleeping bagscuz that ground can be so hard. towels shampoo conditioner toothpaste toothbrush hairbrush toliet paperjust in case the bathroom is out. bring extra shoes socks.wet feeet are no fun no matter where you are.so really stock up on some socks and bring extra pair of shoes. also bring a pair of sandals for the showercuz those shower houses can be grossmight catch a fungus or something. as for going to the bathroom. a lot of campgrounds have bathrooms with showers but if they dont I guess dig a hole. lol camping supplies varies from person to person but thats normally what I would say to bringhammocks are nice too--it all depends
