Packing List for Camping
Pro Tip: Camping is the simplified version of life – the one that is worry/hassle free, so pack as lightly as possible! What do you need most? Not much! The most important thing to pack though is flexibility, patience, and no expectations… but don’t forget… leave plenty of room in your bag for all the memories you will make!
