A camping trip is a somewhat low cost way to take a vacation, but you will need some camping equipment to make it an enjoyable trip. Some people stay at a cabin or take their motor home, but if either of these options doesn't suit you then you will need a tent. Not only must a tent hold you and any other campers, but all of your gear and suitcases.
Proper lighting is camping equipment must haves. You will need a variety of flashlights and lanterns. Many campgrounds have fire pits at each area and bringing your own firewood will save you time when building a fire. You can even take electric lighting if the campground has power for such equipment.

Other essential camping equipment includes all needed cooking pots, pans and eating utensils. Of course you will need to take any personal hygiene items that you'll want. Other potential element problems include bugs, sun and poison oak. Take along necessary bug spray, sunscreen and any rash cream that you may have. If purchasing a bunch of camping equipment sounds expensive, your local Army surplus store may have the items you need at reduced costs.
