Camping Checklist

Last time I went camping, I wish I had been more resourceful to “spice up” the most exciting adventure I have experienced during my stay at one of the best camping facilities I have ever visited; that of a sandy beach. Although I always leave my house to go camping after checking everything from my list of things I wanted to take and I make sure that my car gas will last for at least some considerable part of the journey, I prefer while being at the camping spot of my choice, not to do plan or schedule anything. Just do whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it.

Camping Checklist and Camping Essentials by LJ Stewart

One of the most difficult things about getting ready for camping is getting organized a remember all that gear to bring. I have been using this list for over 15 years- modifying it slightly here and there. Its amazing how little camping has changed.
