Camping List

I can't wait for the warm weather and to go camping!! I've put together a camping list of stuff you might want to take with you on your next adventure. I included a general clothing and food section too, but you will have to accommodate according to when and where you are going. Keep in mind the length of your stay, the weather, and any other factors that will play a role in what you pack.

Many items on this list can be bought at none other than the Dollar Tree! (Although if you are a hardcore camper, you may want to invest in some long lasting things.) The things highlighted in yellow are things that can be found at the Dollar Tree. Disclaimer: there may be more items on this list that they sell that I have not highlighted, but I did not see them. But anyways, here is my list:
