The Camping Checklist- What to Take Camping

If you're planning a camping trip, you need to also plan what you're going to bring

. There's nothing better than a fun filled camping adventure with family and friends, but there's nothing worse than getting to a far flung destination and not having what you need.

I recommend creating, or printing the list we have below to help you prepare for your trip. As you're packing up the truck, van, mule or whatever vehicle you're traveling in, check off the items as you load them. Another great organization tip is to purchase large duffle bags or rubber containers and label them with the appropriate name, e.g., cooking, cookware, etc

Cooking: You have to eat! Make sure to also plan you meals and don't forget to bring snacks!

Camp stove and fuel

Charcoal (if you'll be using on-site barbecue)

Food preparation table

Coffee pot

Folding table and chairs

Cookware and Utensils: This is the section people typically forget an item or two. Make sure that the items below coincide with the food you're going to be cooking.

Measuring cup

Pots and pans

Pot holder

Spatula/tongs

Serving spoon

Knives, forks, spoons

Plates, cups, bowls

Salt and pepper

Misc: Depending on your choice of camping activities this part of the list might vary quite a bit. Yet, what we've provided below are highly recommended. If you're going fishing, or canoeing, add the necessary items to this part of the list.
