11Comprehensive Camping Gear Check List with
Descriptions
This list was created for anyone new to tent camping. Not only does it list what you’ll need to camp, it gives a brief
explanation of what it is, why it’s necessary to take along, and/or a helpful tip. While it’s pretty comprehensive, you
may discover things that you need to pack for your personal interests/needs or for specific activities you have planned
for your camping trip, such as boating, swimming, or fishing. After studying this list, you can print a copy of the
Comprehensive Camping Check List without the descriptions, found in the same webpage article. It will be four pages
long, not eleven.
How this list works:
Items are grouped in categories and then prioritized as 1, 2, or 3. Anything labeled a 1 is essential to your camping trip.
If you can’t take it, then don’t go camping. Anything labeled a 2 is something that will make your camping life a little
easier. Items labeled 3 are considered pure luxury, and you can do without. Also, items labeled as a 2 may actually
replace an item labeled as a 1, and some items labeled as a 3 may actually replace an item labeled as a 1 or 2. Make
sure to go over your list carefully, so you aren’t packing duplicate items that serve the same purpose. Within this list,
each item is highlighted in bold, followed by a brief narrative about the item.
Please note: This list does not include everything, and you should check your own needs to make sure you pack
everything for your personal health and well being while camping.
Camping Gear
Priority 1 items
□ Tent and all of its parts ‐ poles, rain fly, tie‐downs ‐ Make sure you have all of the parts to your tent before you
leave for your camping trip, so there are no surprises when you start to set up camp. Setting up your tent in
your backyard before your trip will help you practice setting up camp, and show if anything is missing, torn, or
broken.
□ Ground tarp ‐ Place it under your tent as a moisture barrier between your tent and the ground, and to protect
your tent from damage by rocks or sticks. Make sure to tuck the tarp under your tent. The tarp should not
stick out past the footprint of your tent. This helps to prevent rain water from running under your tent.
□ Tent stakes ‐ Take what you need for your tent and tarps. Also take more than you need as spares, because
they will bend and break.
□ Standard claw hammer ‐ Used to hammer stakes into the ground, and to remove them at the end of your trip.
□ Multi‐purpose tool / Leatherman ‐ This one tool can be many tools. You can get ones that have a range of 5 ‐
18 tools in one. They are very compact, and no campsite should be without one.
□ Small shovel ‐ This will be great for helping to manage your campfire.
□ Leather work gloves ‐ These can come in handy for handling firewood and such.
□ Water bucket ‐ If you plan to burn campfires, it's a good idea to have a bucket of water nearby for flare‐ups,
and to extinguish the fire when you are done. NEVER leave a campfire burning unattended.
□ Sleeping bag ‐ A one piece unit that serves as your bedding. Consider where you will be camping, and use one
that is rated for the lowest temperature you will be camping in.
□ Pillow ‐ For a better night's sleep, it is best to use something to support your head. If you forget a pillow, you
can stuff some clothing into your sleeping bag's stuff sac. It won't be like home, but it's better than nothing.
