I’ve been camping since I could walk, so I’d stay at this point I’ve got my packing list down. I’m gonna give you two lists, one is bare minimum basics; The second is things I bring extra on longer trips. 

☝️Bare minimum necessities for a one night getaway trip: 

• Tent 
• Blankets or sleeping bag 
• Pillow 
• Camp stove + fuel 
• Chairs
• Table - if they don’t have a picnic table 
• Head lamp or flash light
• Cooler - if you need it 
• Pots and pans - if you’re cooking 
• Paper towels/wet wipes 
• Cooking utensils 
• Plates/cups 
• Silverware 
• Oil - if you need it 
• Dish towel + soap 
• Water jug ( I like 5 gals) 
• Quick easy food (pancakes + pasta)
• Trash bag

✌️Extended list for more comfort or longer trips:

• Sleeping pad - not a necessity 
• Lantern for table 
• String lights around camp 
• String - clothes line 
• Pocket knife 
• Portable phone charger 
• Games 
• First aid kit 
• Sun protection 
• Bug spray 
• Cutting board 
• Camp sink 
• Coffee maker - French press is great 
• Seasonings - I bring S + P and garlic 
• Large trash bags 
• Speaker
• Leftover containers for food 
• Hammock 
• Sun/bug tent to cook in. 

Don’t forget your personal items like sandals, toiletries, towels, swimsuits etc. (: hope this helped!
The list we all need to remember! 

10 Essentials⛑️🥾

• Navigation (more than just a phone) 
• Water more than I expect to drink 
• Headlamp 
• First Aid + knife 
• Fire Starter 
• Emergency Bivvy 
• Rain jacket/extra layer 
• Extra Food
• Emergency Communication Device
• Weapon of choice - Bear spray

Depending on where you live you might want sun protection on the list! 

A few additional items I like to have if you want suggestions!
