What to Bring Camping

Camping season is here! You should start planning now what to bring camping because you can never start preparing too soon… especially if you have a family to bring along. Here’s our list of What to Bring Camping.

I found some fantastic items to help make camping more comfortable and convenient. From getting a good night’s sleep to eating a meal other than hot dogs, I have got you covered.

What to Bring Camping

Cabin Tent: Yes, you read that right. This tent is super-sized, which makes camping a little bit more like glamping. Perfect for larger families, or smaller families that would like to spread out a bit. This would last several years.

Air Mattress: Sleeping on the ground makes for a tough night’s sleep. These air mattresses have hand pumps which make it easy to pump up when there is not any electricity in sight. Pick up a few of these Inflatable Airbeds for the kids to give them their own spot to crash.

LED Lanterns: Keep your space safe with a little light from these powerful LED lanterns. This set comes with 4 lanterns and each one is a different color.

Pop-Up Trash Can: Because everyone needs to pack their trash.

Shield Deet Free Bug Repellent Bracelets: With the great outdoors come the bugs. Instead of carting the bug spray with you while camping, give these innovative bracelets

Portable Kitchen: Set up your kitchen anywhere camping takes you with a little help from this foldable kitchen. It gives you a place to prepare food, cook, and wash.

Blazin Sticks: Use these 3 foot long roasting sticks to make the perfect s’more. I love these long sticks because they keep little hands a safe distance from the fire.

Plasma Lighter: Technology has given us a foolproof way to start your campfire.

Outdoor Exploration Kit: Give the kids their own kit so they can explore everything around them.

Lawn Darts: Here is a fun game to take along camping. It has a small caddy to keep everything in one place.

Camping Hammock: Set up the perfect spot to soak up the great outdoors. These hammocks roll up into a compact bag that makes them easy to pack in with the rest of your camping gear.

Backpacker Mug: With a collapsible handle this mug is super easy to bring along on any camping trip.

The Kids Campfire Book: A must have for every family that goes on a camping trip. This book is full of camping activities. Everyone is sure to find their own favorite part of camping.

The Camp Dutch Oven Cookbook: Here is a handy book for the host or hostess of the camping adventure. Cook a yummy dinner, with 5 ingredients, in one pot, a Dutch Oven.

LED Rope Light: Just for fun, take along this waterproof LED rope light that is powered through the cigarette lighter in your car. A great way to add a little bit of light to your campsite.

First Aid Kit: Last, but not least, is a must-have first aid kit. It never fails, someone will always need a band-aid. Be prepared with this kit that has everything you will need.

I can already smell the campfire as it crackles and warms the night. Between hiking, fishing, and roasting marshmallows, these days of camping are memories in the making.
