Camping trips can be a great way to relax and unwind. They allow you to take advantage of the peace and tranquillity found in the outdoors, which can create the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of a busy inner city life. All the days spend with friends and family along a foreign trail, or the nights spent telling scary stories over camp fires, can help forge strong bonds while providing a truly cathartic experience for all parties involved.

However, when preparing for a camping trip (as with anything else), it is very important to plan everything out in advance. This is especially necessary when it comes to your camping equipment. There is nothing worse than arriving in the woods (where there is no cell signal, with no sight of a human habitation for miles on end) only to discover that you have forgotten something of particular import. It may be that you’ve left behind your camping party’s pots and pans, canned food, toilet paper… or maybe you’ve forgotten to bring a towel, a flash light or a water bottle. Forgetting to pack any of these things, or any other camping essential, is the one main thing that has the power to instantly transform your enjoyable camping excursion into a dreadful ordeal.

Below, we will share our list of important camping essentials with you. A comprehensive list of camping essentials (like ours) will help you ensure that everything you need is packed, which can save you from experiencing any undue surprises on the road.
