Camping Packing List

A camping packing list for your inexpensive vacation is fun to assemble.

Camping is one of the cheapest easiest ways to get back to nature and reduce stress.

Camping helps us unwind, recharge our batteries, hike and maybe even catch up on some relaxing reading.

The packing list below is for a weekend of camping. It assumes that there will be more than one person on the trip.

This list is by no means exhaustive.
