Any campers here?

We're taking our 3 & 5 year old camping for a couple of nights. It's been so long since I've camped that I'm drawing a blank on what things we must have (aside from the obvious tent and sleeping bags). So, what must we take with us?

[lucky513]

coolers filled with food and drinks
I would bring a netted canopy to keep bugs out of food
eating utencils
wash rags
clean water
laterns
air mattress
stuff for smores
bug candle and spray
charcoal and lighter fliud
fire wood
playing cards
radio

I think of more stuff

just use this list
www.lovetheoutdoors.com/camping/checklists.htm

there are alot of extra on that list you wont need but it is a good list if you want to be over prepared

My H is making us go camping next month with my B and SIL and kids. :-( I hate camping. I feel like I have to pack my whole house.

my sister wanted to go camping for the 4th after calling almost ever site local to us they were all booked, we found one that wasn't but they didnt allow alcohol


now were just going to the beach lol

Didn't allow alcohol? That's the only thing that makes camping bearable. Thanks for the suggestions.

Toilet paper.

Even if they don't allow alcohol, as long as you aren't an asshole you can get away with bringing alcohol.

I didnt want to camp there anyways it was a good reason to not camp

My parents brought a huge kiddie gate corral thing that was large enough for 3 of us to run around and play. Kept us from getting into anything while the parents were cooking n handling the fire lol. We always had stuff to play in the dirt. Pails n shovels

I just wanted to make sure no one went camping w/out alcohol. lol

if you are going to be in a spot with traffic going around you you might want to bring the orange cones, last time we went camping with some friends they brought the cones and it made a difference of how the drivers were driving around our site

OMG, that sounds like my worst nightmare.
