Here’s a checklist for what to bring camping:
- Tent: Make sure to bring a tent that is appropriate for the number of people you will be camping with. Also, make sure you have all the necessary poles, stakes, and guylines.
- Sleeping bag: Choose a sleeping bag that is appropriate for the expected temperatures during your camping trip. Make sure it’s warm enough to keep you comfortable at night.
- Sleeping pad: A sleeping pad will provide cushioning and insulation from the ground. Choose a pad that is comfortable and easy to pack.

- Cookware and utensils: Bring pots, pans, plates, bowls, utensils, and other cooking essentials.
