Packing For A Camping Trip

WHAT CLOTHES TO BRING

For a two night camp trip in summer it should look something like this minimally

3 Pairs underwear
2 Short sleeve shirts
2 Pants:  1 jeans 1 fleece or sweat pant style
1 Pair of shorts
1 Tank top
2 Long sleeve shirts: one can be for sleeping
1 Swimsuit
1 Beach towel
1 Silky pants for sleeping (water wicking/bike or smooth exercise type work best so your legs don’t stick to your covers and you can put second layer soft pants over then in the morning)
1 Sandals, water shoes or flip flops for beach or shower
1 Ugg type boots or lined clogs for easy on off around campsite
1 Sweat shirt/fleece with hood
1 Light jacket (just in case)
1 Skirt or camp dress opt.
1 Bandanna & sun hat
1 Bath towel, hand towel & washrag
3 socks
1 Pair good of comfortable walking/hiking shoes
1 pair of gloves for cold or handling wood


Some sites have laundry facilities if that matters to you THEN take quarters and soap of your choosing they will probably sell some there as well.

Depending on the time of year and where you are camping, a beanie hat is also great for those chillier nights and early mornings. Spring camping in Canada requires a bit more in terms of layering too. Never hurts to have an extra sweater or two.

Margaret your so right, I think I should preface this to be summer camping in California because that is what I'm used to. Love your comment and it's always fun for me to hear from other campers on my posts.

First Camptrip Review

Camping was both good and well as usual a learning experience. I've come to decide a few things:   Bring what makes you comfortable without bringing too much I like my camp kitchen set up and don't need to buy anything bigger I don't like the laundry basket idea, I couldn't find anything and prefer the compartments of a duffel bag I'm not into rainy camping when it comes time to pack up. Everything is wet and dirt is stuck to it    Camping with my 5 year old daughter is awesome A truck would make camping easier Bears are fairly harmless but even though I know I don't have to worry about them my instinct says don't sleep the first night I camp. And it's always a thrill to see them. I love my $3 purchase from the thrift store it's very useful as a seat or side table Three days or more of camping makes packing up more tolerable We LOVE smoores with cookies Using a wine box to roll up newsprint for making a fire was a ...

Rock Art: Draw a line or spiral with a long stick and collect rocks and pine cones - place on the line in a pattern. Show them a picture of “The spiral Jetty” by Robert Smithson.   Camp Kitchen: Collect cooking gear from the thrift store, see if you can find items on small scale, find a flat rock, log or camp bench and draw in chalk a stove top (two circles with an “X”) Fill a pitcher of water and tell them to go to town making mud pies and cooking them. (keep mud away from where people walk). Rock & Stick Art: Hunt for sticks and rocks then paint with washable tempera   Pine Cone Critters: Glue small rocks, sticks onto pine cones to make different figures. Tacky glue works best.   Hide & Seek an old stand by.   Bug Hunt with a bug jar.   Hopscotch: Use a long sticks to make squares in dirt & small rocks to throw.   Beading: $1 store good for this, I like using a tray or baking sheet to contain every...
