Complete Camping Checklist | Everything You Need for a Weekend of Camping | Camping for Beginners

How many times have you gone camping and realized you forgot to bring half the things you actually need? Packing for a camping trip is definitely a little different than packing for an all inclusive vacation, so we've compiled a COMPLETE CAMPING CHECKLIST to share with you. This list has been compiled over years of camping trips, and we're happy to say that we don't complain about forgetting anything anymore! It includes everything you need for sleeping, cooking, personal items, and overall camping essentials. It can be used for the absolute beginner all the way to the experienced camper.

Many of the items we include on this list are for, what we call, 'comfy camping'. This is your Front Country type camping where you will be staying at a maintained campsite. However, that doesn't mean this list can't be used for other types of camping as well!

Update: Our gear has changed a bit so below are some convenient purchase links for you guys to our latest gear!

Foil packet meals. Make your first layer parchment paper. Then wrap in foil. Total game changer. Nothing burned, nothing stuck to the foil. And clean up was a breeze because I just opened up the packet down the middle and ate right out of it.

Thank you so very much for your checklist! I will use it and personalize it as well. Great information on your channel for beginners like me.😊

From my personal experience, I bring at least several extra large size garbage bags with me, those are really handy. One time I had to leave the tent in the middle of the night because our campground was flooded. I threw all my clothes and electronics into the garbage bag and carry them to my car, thanks to that, nothing got wet and I was able to dry myself very quickly once I got into the car. Garbage bags are really good too because you can use them as emergency tarps, it's not thick, but at least it can keep things dry and free of dirt, you can also cut it to make it larger, or cut the bottom, and roll it up to use it like a plastic hoop.

I've camped every summer for many years. What I do is place my items in numbered boxes ( box #1, #2 etc... ) then make a checklist of what's in each box ( ie tent, pillow, sleeping bag ). Same with what's in my backpack and toiletry bag. So if I want to find something I just look at my checklist. This prevents wasted time having to look for things and more time enjoying the camping trip.

Great list. I would recommend one more item. Petroleum jelly. Works as a moisturizer, lip balm, lubricant for stuck hinges, bolts etc and a fire starter when spread thinly on twigs or paper.

My input for additional warmth - $10 from Homer’s: 24 in. x 10 ft. Double Reflective Insulation. Trust me, it will keep you warm, top, bottom, or lightly toasted on both sides!

Great list .I would add bear spray depending on where you are camping. String lights just for fun. Privacy or Shower tent if there is no toilet/shower room.

Garbage bags or something to collect your trash in is helpful too

[tsu]

you guys are exactly what I was looking for thank you! also wanted to say I like your voices

[razzor]

i pack most things in storage containers one can even be used for washing dishes i also always bring fire starters or scrap paper and a table for a cooking station and if you have the room i suggest a garden rake for clearing the area where you set up camp

[NguyenningAtLife]

[chago]
