Weekend Camping Gear List
What to pack for a weekend campout.
This is a starting point — bring the gear you know you need!
- Backpack/Duffle
- Sleeping bag & pad
- Clothes (jeans, t-shirts, socks, underwear)
- Jacket/Hoodie
- Rain suit or poncho
- Flashlight (easily accessible for setting up the tent in the dark)
- Toiletries (toothbrush/paste, chap-stick, brush, etc.)
- Mess kit (small plate, bowl, cup, fork, spoon)
- Small pocket knife
- Water bottle
- Sunscreen & bug repellent
- Towel
Summer camp and high-adventure trips need more gear than a weekend campout — those get their own lists once we have them.
