The right camping gear is essential. For those of you who have never taken the
plunge, this list may be helpful when packing.
Camping gear can be found in most major retail stores, online stores,
and from local garage sales and thrift shops.
There are several RV and Camping Showrooms who also carry a full line of
camping gear. The equipment you need
will depend on the type of camping you plan to do. For example, if you are camping in an RV,
pop-up, or trailer, you most likely have most of your camping gear stored
inside your rig, making it easy to just pack necessities before you leave. If you are tenting this would be another
thing altogether. Here is the list I
check off when tent camping:
- Tent, screen tent, poles, stakes, tarp, hammer, portable gill and gas canisters
- Pans, dishes, portable camp stove, utensils, dishpans, dish soap, tablecloth
- Flashlights, lanterns, first aid kit, charcoal and charcoal starter, coffeepot
- Rug, blankets, sleeping bags, pillows, cots, matches or portable butane lighter
- Marshmallow sticks, Tonka Pie Makers, broom & dustpan, mosquito repellant
- Rain gear, lawn chairs, card games, camera, washcloths and towels
- Personal items, clothing, sweatshirts or jackets, flip flops, hiking shoes
This is the majority of my list, which I keep packed in
totes in the garage until we leave again.
Be sure everything is dry and clean before you put it away. It’ll be much easier the next time you go!
