Got Everything You Will Need?

Packing for a Camping trip - checklist

Camping Checklist – make sure you got everything packed!

The most useful tool for planning your camping vacation is the checklist.  Use the camping checklist below to identify everything you will need.  You will have all your camping gear, everything for your meals along with everything needed to prepare the meals in the campsite kitchen, everything needed to build a fire, and all games and pass time activities.

Download the Camping Checklist by clicking here to get a printout of this list.  Print it and save the Word.docx format document so you can modify it to include anything else based on your personal experiences and preferences.  Hang it on your garage wall where you will see it while you pack your vehicle.  You can even replace the pics on it with pictures from your own camping excursions!
