Packing Made Simpler!
We’re off to go camping again this weekend! Every time we go, I print out a pre-made list and then check off all the essentials as we pack them. This is a simple necessity for me as otherwise we’d be driving down the road, and I’d be thinking, okay, what did I forget… Come on, you know you’ve been there.
So as a little gift to my loyal readers (okay, to anyone to happens across my blog), I’m going to give you a generic copy that you can download and use for your trips! Feel free to modify & share it, after all, mine is an idea I stole from my mom!
(Although I’d appreciate the credit if by chance you’d like to blog about it.)

Packing List for Camping or other Trips
What I usually do is write out my menu for the trip on the back and then underneath I make my master shopping list. The few food items on the front are more for a reminder for certain staples/categories, but I like having my shopping list on the back of my packing list for easy reference.
Just for fun, what’s your favorite place to go camping? For me it’s a tie: the beach (anywhere!) and the 2 lakes I grew up camping at: Lake Almanor & Shasta Lake.

Great blog! I just popped over from Ohana mama’s blog. Wish I went camping as this list is a keeper :).

I am priviledged enough to already have gotten this from you, adapted it and use it!!! We use it every time! Thanks, Nicole!

The camping list has always helped us, although there still were a couple of times we forgot a thing or two.
We agree on your favorites, but love Pismo Coast Village and our new favorite, KQ Ranch in Julian CA!!
