Camping Preparation Tent Camping List

Use this Tent Camping List when you are planning your camping trip. When heading out to the wilderness, it is very important to make sure you have everything you need. Planning for camping trips can be hectic and it is easy to forget things. This Tent Camping List will help you get everything together that you’ll need for your tent.

Use the Tent Camp List below shows two columns of check marks: the first makes sure you own (or have located) everything you need for your trip. The second column is for checking them off a when they are actually packed. This is a great way to double check that you have, and have packed, everything you need. This system has saved me frustration more than once when heading out to go camping!

The list is also broken down into three separate sections:

• Roughing It: Camping gear you will absolutely need.
• Prepared Camper: Camping equipment that is nice to have.
• Deluxe Camper: Not necessary but really nice to have in certain situations.

Use the print button to either print off a copy for you to use or you can “print to pdf” to use on your phone or tablet. I have left a few blank fields on the list so you can add anything you would like. However, when adding things to your Tent Camping List, make sure to follow this important rule:

Never keep food or other items with a fragrance, such as toothpaste or deodorant, in your tent.

This will attract animals. It is very easy for animals to get into tents and sleeping bags. You definitely don’t want to come back to camp right before that afternoon rainstorm to find holes chewed through your tent and your stuff scattered. Even worse would be finding a bear sitting on your sleeping back eating up all your toothpaste!

If you are missing any items or need to replace an item, just click on the hyperlinked name of the item to order it!
