Answer 4

Ok I will give you a brief list of things you actually need instead of giving you a generic list that wouldn't do you any good.  The major things that you need of course a tent and sleeping bag.  Get some kind of matress to sleep on.  Trust me on that one.  

After that always bring dry clothes only for sleeping in.  Under armor works the best and is very light.  Always change before going to bed.  Another esential is extra socks.  Other than that you will need a small thing of bug spray and sun screen. Appropiate clothes packed in waterproof bags because if your stuff gets wet at least your clothes will be dry.   Big ziplocs work well. Another thing that is important is a rain coat or poncho.  

Those are the esentials but you can of course pack everything from cards to camera equipment.  It all depends on what kind of camping you are doing.  The major rule of thumb is to keep your self dry and cumfortable and keep your gear dry.
