Creating A Camping Supply List

Bringing along the right camping supplies and gear is a vital part of any successful camping trip.  The following camping checklist is a general guide for the average family camping weekend.  Your camping supply list may differ, depending on the climate, location, and type of camping facilities you are visiting.  If you are backpacking, kayak or canoe camping, or enjoying another type of camping where gear weight is crucial, check our lightweight backpacking tips.

Shelter and bedding are two of the most important items on your camping supply list.  Primitive camping trips may require nothing more than a tarp to protect you from the ground’s moisture and a good sleeping bag, but your family camping checklist should include 1 or 2 adequately sized tents, tent stakes and extra stakes, and a hammer and stake puller.  Ground covers, or tarps slightly larger than the bottom of your tent, are great for protecting your camping tent from moisture and dirt.  You may also want to bring along a small broom to keep your tent clean and an outdoor mat for your entrance.
