Plan for your next camping adventure by making a list of camping supplies that you will need. By listing only the necessities, you avoid over-packing, which is a saving grace when hauling gear to your site. First consider where you will be camping. Do they have restrictions, such as "no open fires" or "no potable water?" Check with the camping site's website to determine a list of their specific do's and don't's. You'll save a lot of trouble if you know ahead of time, for example, that there are showers available for campers or that the campground has a general store. Once you've nailed down what to expect from the camping destination, you can add specific necessities to your list of camping supplies. If you have small children tagging along you'll need to bring appropriate food, toiletries and games. If anyone in your group has health concerns, such as an allergy to bee stings or an affinity to sunburn easily, be prepared with first aid supplies. The best camping checklist should also include a list of names and contact information for everyone in your group. That will come in handy in case you or your group experiences an emergency situation or natural disaster. Share
