You need to be more specific....

Answer 3

.......um food

Answer 4

I soooo want to go camping with Tabbiieee_Bo.   I don't know what camping books she's been reading, but it looks like fun!

Answer 5

It all depends on what kind of camping you are intending on doing...is it rough camping or tent, or trailer, cottage...sleeping bag would be a good idea if rough camping, and an air mattress. Simple cooking utensils and eating utensils dried food.    some sort of shelter.  Bug spray, sun block..fishing gear.  If you are going to be in a cabin...the beds and mattress and linens will probably all ready be supplied.

so you can concentrate on your own personal stuff...swimsuit, toiletries.  towels.  flip flops, food, canned goods, pasta, easy to cook meats...burgers, dogs. steaks etc make it simple.    One warm jacket would be a good idea, a rain cape...jeans and cut offs and some T shirts and tank tops.

Answer 7

Okay, If you need to bring everthing of your own then here you go:

-reliable tent

-lanterns

-flashlights

-bug spray (lots of bug spray)

-sleeping bag

-air mattress

-food that doesn't spoil (quickly)

-boxes that LATCH close! (raccoons will get into them and eat everything, trust me, it has happened to me multiple times)

-coolers that LATCH

-chairs

-utensils

-pans

-portable stove (don't set it on plastic, not fun to smell)

-water bottles

-cell phone

-fire wood

-games, cards, that type of stuff

-If it is going to rain, buy a canopy or tarp to hang from trees

-rope to hang wet stuff on (if you go swimming)

-car air compressor

-sun screen

-shampoo

-deodorant

-tooth paste

-toilet paper (sometimes there isn't a bathroom close enough)

-things like that ^^^^

-camera

-lots of water

-fishing gear

-swimming gear

-stuff you might need on a boat

-if you under 18 like me, then you absolutley have to wear a life jacket in the lake. Its the law.

-sweaters

-jackets

-rain jackets

-dish soap to wash the dishes, its okay to wash them in the lake if its clean and there is not other water near

Clothes wise:

-sweats for sleeping at night, I know it isn't the stylish thing but you will thank me when it gets cold.

-shorts

-long pants to put on at night

-bring more clothes than you need you might have to change a couple times a day depending on the weather, and how messy you are.

-put your clothes and toiletries in one bag and bring a smaller bag for dirty clothes.

Oh, and if you plan on drinking beer, keep the cooler in the car because you will get into trouble when they come by to check on you.

The rest will come to mind, trust me, everything is needed in this list!
