If you\u2019re ready to head out to the great outdoors with your favorite crew, go camping! To help you get out under the stars, we\u2019ve put together 10 basic must-haves for camping that will ensure everyone on the trip has a good experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tent
\n<\/strong>If you want to sleep comfortably, make sure you choose a tent with a sleeping capacity about double the size of your family. Sure, your standard four-man tent will fit four people, but none of your luggage, shoes, or toys.<\/p>\n

Camp stove
\n<\/strong>You need to be able to cook and heat food. Whether it\u2019s a full camp stove or a single Char-Griller Grillin Pro Gas Grill<\/a>, you\u2019ll want to have a fuel source to be able to cook things at the drop of the hat without having to make a full campfire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLighter
\n<\/strong>\u00a0A simple lighter is one of those things that is essential when it comes to camping gear. You\u2019ll need it to start your campfire at night, and maybe even your stove.<\/p>\n

Cooler
\n<\/strong>Choose one that\u2019s a little bigger than you think it needs to be. There\u2019s always something else to throw in the cooler. An even better choice is one on wheels so it\u2019s easier to tote from your car to your campsite.<\/p>\n

First aid kit
\n<\/strong>If you are camping with kids, this is one thing you will want to be certain is part of your camping checklist. It\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry!<\/p>\n

Lantern or headlamp
\n<\/strong>You\u2019re going to need a light source, so make sure you pack some Streamlight Hand Lanterns<\/a> from Buydig.com, along with replacement batteries. Pack enough for each of your kids to have their own, too. What child doesn\u2019t love running around with a flashlight<\/a> in the campground after dark?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Food
\n<\/strong>Write down what you plan to eat for each meal. Then prepare what you can at home\u2014marinate the meats, cut the vegetables, wrap the potatoes in foil. You\u2019ll be thankful once you get to camp. When you pack the cooler, set out the foods meal by meal, thinking about how\u00a0you\u2019ll serve each meal so you don\u2019t forget condiments and necessary utensils, can opener, etc.<\/p>\n

Insect repellent
\n<\/strong>\u00a0Nothing can ruin a good campout like a bad bug problem. Be sure to pack your favorite insect repellent to keep the pesky biters away!<\/p>\n

Bikes
\n<\/strong>\u00a0If it’s a long way from your campsite to the beach or play area, it’s faster, and more fun, to use a bike instead of walking. Bikes help keep the kids entertained, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThere\u2019s no doubt about it, camping is hard work. But it\u2019s worth it! You\u2019re guaranteed to make lasting family memories, enjoy lots of laughs, and get plenty of outdoor time for the kids.<\/p>\n
