Camping Checklist

Camping Checklist

James Warrington

If you are new to camping, the list of equipment you need to get can appear quite daunting.

The camping checklist that we have put together here covers some of the must-haves and also some of the optional extras for you to consider before your next camping trip.

When you first buy a tent we recommend that you try the tent out for a night locally before you go.   This will familiarise yourself with erecting you tent but also give you a good indication of what you NEED rather than what you WANT. 

CAMPING ESSENTIALS

These are the basics for your camping adventure:

✅ Tent and footprint groundsheet

✅ Something to sleep in - Sleeping bags or are you taking a duvet?

✅ Something to sleep on - Camping bed or Self inflating Mat?

✅ Cooker - To cook your meals on unless you plan to eat out

✅ Cooking Pans & Utensils

✅ Chairs - You'll need something to sit in whilst eating and possibly something to kick back and relax in

✅ Lighting - Light for the tent and also for crossing the campsite at night
