An organized camping trip needs planning! This checklist will walk you through the planning stage – step by step. Almost ALL public camping areas have camping and campfire regulations/restrictions.

More individual camping checklists:
Sometimes all you need is a specific individual camping list …
Particularly when it comes to personal clothing, food, and supplies lists
These checklists are intended to be complete enough to cover almost any type of outdoor camping, from an over-night tent camp out in a local field, to a week-long hunting camp in the mountains, but of course there may be stuff you need to add for your particular needs.
NOTE: Each camping checklist will have printer-friendly options for print-outs in MS Word format that you can edit and customize, or as a PDF doc that you can download and save.
Camping Checklist for Kids, Toddlers, and Babies:
Camping with young kids, toddlers, and babies means it is extra important not to forget those items that are especially important to them.
Personal Gear/Bedding Checklist:
Whether it is a group outdoor camping event with a base camp, or a hiking trip where it is all on your back, there are some items that are basic/personal and needed no matter what type of outing you are going on.
Camp Safety/First Aid Checklist:
Being mindful of camping safety and basic First Aid can keep minor issues from becoming major problems. This should be your most important checklist.
Tents/Shelter Checklist:
A tent camping checklist might seem pretty basic, but you only need to forget one or two small items, and what should have been a pleasure can quickly become an ordeal! Now where are those tent stakes?
Campfire Checklist:
This campfire checklist includes the basics needed to build a campfire, and what you need for campfire safety! From a small hiking campfire, to a large group-use campfire.
Campfire Cooking Checklist:
A campfire cooking checklist can be as simple as a fork, spoon, and individual mess kit, to a multi-page full camp kitchen set-up. Just evaluate your single or group meal needs to pack the right items.
Camp Tools/Accessories Checklist:
It’s easy to remember the lanterns and tarps for your campsite, but it’s amazing how often the little things that make camp life easy, (like S-hooks), get forgotten and left behind. This checklist will help.

It is in DOC column format. So all you have to do is add or delete lines and the columns will automatically adjust.

Note: This free printable camping checklist can also help involve the kids in the family camping trip. You can assign specific sections, or items, to the kids to gather and check off. If you have more than one kid, they can pass around the camping list until all items are gathered.
Don’t just use your checklist to gather your gear – it should be the last thing you look at as you get ready to leave. Scan the camping list to make sure all the stuff you remembered actually got packed and loaded – not left lying on the counter or in the garage. A checklist isn’t just for remembering what to take, it’s also for remembering to actually take it.
