Camping checklist

A camping gear list grouped the way you pack the car: shelter and sleep, the kitchen, clothes, tools, and the jobs before and after the trip. Trim it for a festival or add to it for a week in the hills.

Changes are saved on this device as soon as you tick or edit.

Tips for your camping checklist

What is easiest to forget when camping?

Small things that only matter at night or at mealtimes: tent pegs and the mallet, a lighter for the stove, a head torch, a pillow, a can opener, washing-up liquid and rubbish bags. They are all on the list. Pitching the tent at home once before a first trip also shows what is missing.

How do you adapt the list to the weather?

Check the forecast for every day of the stay and edit the clothes section. In cold weather add warmer sleeping gear and layers; in hot weather add shade and more water. The forecast also tells you whether the waterproof trousers stay in the bag or go on.

What are the rules for fires and wild camping?

They depend on the land owner, the park and the season, and they can change during dry spells. The list has items to check them before you go. Read the campsite’s or park authority’s own page and follow it on site.

How do you leave the campsite?

Take all rubbish with you, put out any fire as the site rules require and walk the pitch looking for pegs and small items. At home, dry the tent before storing it so it does not go mouldy, and note on this list anything that broke so you replace it before the next trip.

Questions about this checklist

Can I keep separate lists for different trips?

Yes. Press Duplicate to keep a copy for each kind of trip, such as a weekend car camp and a backpacking trip, each saved on this device.

Can I print the camping list?

Yes. Press Print for a clean sheet with empty boxes that you can tick with a pen as you load the car.

Can I share it with the group?

Press Share link and send it to the group. Each person gets a copy and can tick what they bring.

Can I note who brings what?

Edit an item to add a name, such as “Stove and fuel: Sam”. The name stays in the list and shows when you print it or share it.

Does the list cover first aid?

It reminds you to bring a first aid kit. What goes in it, and how to use it, is for a first aid course or your national first aid organisation to tell you.
