What to bring on a camping trip? From here.

"Be Prepared"
Camping is wonderful. There's nothing quite like sleeping in the outdoors or the almost out-of-doors. In preparing to head out camping, you must balance your needs with what you can carry. Consider what is available where you are going: If you're going to a campground, maybe you won't need that portable shower.
Just use your common sense. If it's going to rain, I stay at a B&B. If cooking is a hassle, bring along food that doesn't require preparation (or just head out to a restaurant).
It's up to you how you want to enjoy your camping experience! Be safe, and have fun!
Well after a brief review the only thing I didn't already pack (I figure I've got 90% of that stuff taken care of) is Toilet Paper...must remember to make that be the first thing I do after writing this entry...God Bless Google.
