Our Camping List

Now that we have been camping a few times as a family, I'm starting to develop a good list for things that we always bring. I always seem to forget one or two vital things when we go (and they differ each time!), so I am going to put the list of our staple camping items (or items that we want to bring in the future) on here as a resource.

What are the things that you like to take on your camping trips? What meals do you like to have when you go?
  • Tent, tarp, camp bed mats, sleeping bags, pillows
  • Camping chairs
  • Broom to sweep out tent and tarp
  • Flashlights and lantern
  • Paper towels
  • Garbage bags
  • Wet wipes
  • Metal roasters for s'mores and hot dogs
  • Mosquito repellant, citronella candles
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, hats
  • Dinner: chili hot dogs, canned green beans, s'mores
  • Breakfast: muffins, juice, fresh fruit, hot chocolate
  • Plates, cups, utensils, camping pot set
  • Heat-resistant cups for serving hot chocolate
  • Can opener
  • Food cooler and water cooler
  • Water bottles
  • Sleeping mask and ear plugs (for me!)
  • Things to entertain Sam in the car

Trav loves tin-foil dinners prepared ahead of time (some sort of meat, if desired, plus potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, etc). Do you have a camp stove or are you eating from the fire?

For breakfast, I always make oatmeal. Instant is easiest, of course, but doesn't taste as good.
