With the good weather this summer, we plan to go camping to unplug from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. On my way to prepare everything takes with me, and wanna share it with anyone who loves camping or some first-time camper.
Camping is a good way to enjoy your life with your friends and family. But if you forget something when you are already at the campground, it’s a bad experience. some people only camping near the home, such as your own backyard. Then you can just take several basic gears. But some travelers load up everything with their cars to create a comfortable adventure. A checklist is helpful when you packing. I think not everyone brings totally same gear when you planing camping. But you can make it as a reference and choose what you need to avoid missing and maybe make improvements as you need.
Campground
The first step is to choose a campground. You can go camping in many state and national parks, in the backcountry at private campgrounds, or some mountains forests which are more adventurous. But for a trial camper, we recommend parks or collective campgrounds. To set up your campsite, you’ll always need a shelter, camping pad, and sleeping bag as basic, add an extra touch of comfort-such as camping table and chair sets. In this way, could enjoy a better eating environment and nice resting condition.

Camping Kitchen and Cooking
After a day full of hiking and outdoor adventure, nothing beats returning to camp and enjoying a great meal while relaxing. You can take some tinfoil and campfire to cook some easy food, such as meat/corn/or easy vegetables. If you want a feast on the tip of the tongue, you’ll want to bring more camp kitchen essentials. You can do something ahead, Chop vegetables, pre-cut meat for kabobs, make your marinades and sauces.
