Camping gear lists & packing lists
A gear list is essential for camping to make sure you’ve packed everything you need (and don’t overpack!). These campground, vanlife, RV, and backcountry campsite verified gear lists worked for us.
The right gear is not enough for a safe and successful camping trip. We explain gear strategy, when and where to trade out camping gear depending on your group size, family and kid needs, and packing capability. We also talk camping gear for different seasons and how to stay warm and safe outdoors.
