Camping Checklist (What NOT to Forget)
Camping Checklist (What NOT to Forget)
For your camping checklist, there are essentials that you cannot forget. I am sharing what not to forget on your camping trip. We made our checklist before our road trip, but we forgot several items. We even had The RV Trip Packing List from Cruise America, but I added many essentials throughout our camping experience. So here is What NOT to Forget on Your Camping Checklista: number 1 – Extra Hand Towels
We packed extra hand towels for our RV camping trip. It is nice to wipe off the picnic table if it rained the night prior. Most tables are trek in updated campgrounds so they can be wiped off. We also used hand towels to wash dishes; while 1-2 are drying, you still have a dry one for that meal’s dishes. We also used an extra dish towel to lay on the floor of the RV when you walk in. Just an extra way to wipe off some dirt or dust.
That is a total of 4 dish towels or hand towels for your checklist. Camping checklist number 2: Gallon Water #travel #campingchecklist #roadtrip #campingessentials #traveltips #campingtips

Thanks Laurie !
Going “glamping” this weekend. Your timing is impeccable.
I have been looking into converting our VW Eurovan into a camper. This is very helpful!! Thank you! Although I might not use that many aluminum foils as those can be toxic in high heat. They are super convenient but I had been corrected by someone who was an expert in that area so I now stop depending on them as I did before.
I’ve always adhered to the basic premise —- That if you didn’t remember to pack an item, then it was not important. Phil.
Using an rv is not camping
Great video. Loved the t-shirt. We use plastic bags for camping but only when we camp do we do this as I’m sure it is horrible for your health. But we make omelets in a bag. We just add an egg and all the toppings like bacon, cheese, tomatoes, cooked onions & bell peppers, mushrooms, etc and then, seal the bag and boil in water water for about 10 to 12 minutes depends on how much stuff you load the bag with. Carefully take out with tongs and slide onto a plate. Everyone gets the omelet they want.
This video was very helpful! We are leaving to camping as I type this. We are going on a long road trip and then camping in an rv park.
Awesome check list! Thank you 😊
You nade me laugh!
Love that “wear a mask or step off the plane” quote. Two thumbs up.
The foil tips are great!
Please make a packing tips video for teens/preteens ❤️
Also baby whipes, if there is no showers
Solar paneled battery packs (for obvious reasons)
Gerbers multi-tools just easier for everyone
We like paper plates and bowls. They recycle easier and you can use them in a microwave. Splurge get the good ones. I never regret it.
Oh man… I saw the melted fork a coming!! My brother used to be an accident waiting to happen in the kitchen!!!i remember my I’m talking to my bro about keeping his clothes off the floor and the bed made. Soooo he combined them both!! He laid all his pants w/ creases across the boxes springs and let the mattress down over them! Press while you sleep! I laughed soo hard! Miss him soo much! He passed ~ 6?yrs ago… RIP he was like our Chevy Chase (Lampoon Family Vacation) Loved to camp .. fish.. & hunt.. but hadn’t quite gotten all parts down pat!
Good fire starter is dryer lint stuffed into tp or PT rolls.
We have a battery jumper that also has a flash light , 2 USB ports as well as it will charge your car or camper battery. Takes just overnight to recharge this pack too. Love it !
Zip lock bags are wonderful no matter where you travel. Besides the larger sized bags, I bought a pack of the small snack size bags (smaller than sandwich bags) at the Dollar Tree and they came in handy for all sorts of things. Thanks, Laurie!
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you xx
We love camping ! We are motorcycle enthusiasts and ever spring through mid September we go camping with a group of friends .Right now we own a trailer tent but hoping to find a cargo trailer for hauling our bikes or motorcycle with us. Come on spring !
Thank you so much for this. We were just finished loading up a rented motor home, when I watched this. I pulled out some of those things you suggested, and added them to our stash.
Use yoga mat for your bed. I found this amazing and they don’t slide off at all. Plus you get the extra comfort.
JUICE GROOVES!!!!!!! This would be a great band name.
My entire life, I’ve never camped except in a tent, so we made sure to lock all our food that was in the tote bags and coolers in the car when car camping, or put them in bear hangs or bear boxes when backpacking/horsepacking in bear country (I’m looking at you, Winds and Tetons).
My mom keeps a list taped to the inside of the picnic basket and picnic bag lids with a checklist of all the contents, including quantities, so before a trip, we’d go through them and make sure everything that was supposed to be in them was, and wash anything that needed to be washed. We also have checklists for each of the tents (sleeping and kitchen) so that we can make sure we have the right number and kind of stakes for each… and a few extra of each kind of stake, just in case.
We always brought metal silverware and various kitchen utensils (including scrapers, pancake turners, tongs, and a crank can opener; the only good cheese slicer we’ve ever had doesn’t fit, and you can’t really buy it anywhere anymore, so we have to use a knife to cut cheese), with plastic silverware in the picnic bag (what we take if we’re going on a day trip or stopping for lunch on a long driving day) – it has all the dishes and such that we need for a picnic, including a table cloth and the all-important table cloth clips (they’re inexpensive but last forever and are a huge lifesaver, especially on the high desert). Also, clothes line and clothespins to hang things up to dry, from dish towels to swimsuits.
Both of my parents grew up camping, and we started camping as a family before I was even born, so it’s all old hat for us. One of our tricks is to not bring anything that can’t be plugged into the car unless we’re guaranteed that there are outlets in the restroom buildings (for curling iron, blow dryer, etc.) – we’ve only used an electric hookup once and it was because it was the last site available in the campground and we didn’t know it was electric until we got there. To keep food cold for a long time without electricity, freeze the milk, jugs of water, and anything else that can be reasonably frozen, before you leave home, so that you have tons of ice, which also gives you drinking water (from the jugs), and if/when needed, buy a block of ice to put in the cooler – but in order for that to work well, you need a cooler that has a spout at the bottom, so that you don’t end up with everything sitting in water (otherwise, you’ll have to take everything out every couple days in order to dump the water, which, if it’s your only option, go ahead).
Flip flops or water shoes for showering are an absolute must, and water shoes are really great for the beach if you’re going to spend much time in the water (especially if half the beach is made up of sharp broken shells – water shoes saved my feet when all my friends went barefoot and most of them got there feet cut up from the shells).
Obviously dress for the weather, but if you’re going to the mountains (e.g. Yellowstone, Grand Teton, I suppose Glacier as well), even in the middle of the summer, I highly suggest wool socks and a warm hat and gloves – even in July, it got down almost to freezing at night, and the higher you go, the colder it gets (when we were backpacking, almost every morning for the full 3 weeks, we’d wake up and find frost on our packs (which were too big to keep in the tent) because it got well below freezing each night, even in the middle of August).
I like to bring some rope and duck tape when go camping never know when it will be useful.
Great tips. I would like to suggest to add on cord for hanging stuff n insect repellent to the checklist
That makes my eyes hurt.
Thanks for these tips . Never thought of these!
Great video. Love how thorough your list is. I would also pack a extra long cell phone charging cord. Just like hotels, outlets in RVs can be annoyingly hard the reach in bed or the couch
Fun video!! The fork 😂😂😂 Great glamping tips 🤗 we are still learning! RVing is the best way to go for sure. I’m hoping to be able to go note often. But something always seems to get in the way
Whoa…Laurie has a camping checklist ☑️ First, you helped me remember what to bring on a plane( it had been 10 years since I last flew) and now you’re helping me remember things for my upcoming camping trip👍😎🇺🇲❤️ You rock!!
I used a new frisbee with paper plates inside to reheat, eat, ect. Did you fly with all your essentials or pick up later? I’m still laughing over that fork~ Happy Birthday Alliver! Thank you for the tips
I love the shirt! I always have a good check list for camping. I’ve done it alot. But you do need a good list. Thanks for posting this, your ideas are great.
Love this thank you!! Camping for the first time in Tx, pray the rain away as I want to see God’s creation in Jesus name Amen
Instead of firestarters try dryer lint in cardboard egg cartons. ! Dollar tree cake top to put over paper plates /napkins to keep them dry and not blow away while on picnic table.
We are flying in to go rv camping. We will have the utensil package. Besides our sheets does anyone have tips for "must have" items that we should bring in our luggage. There will be a general store on site. I would like to avoid paying as many inflated prices if possible. Thanks community!
Our campgrounds in California have reopened, so camping is the vacation this year. Plastic utensils and styrofoam plates would never work with my family. Those are too delicate for my crowd!
All the stuff is beautiful
Add RX to check list+first aid items
Did a youtube search for family rv checklist and this was the first result. I loved your tips and advice so much 🙂
I recently bought the LED camping fan you linked .I can’t wait to try it! We are looking at toy haulers as we also like to ride the motorcycle too . Life is an adventure and now that kids are older we can enjoy more trips!
Dryer lint, paper egg cartons, & leftover candle bits make great firestarters. Stuff lint in each egg shape. Pour melted wax over. Restuff with more lint if needed. Cut each egg apart & store in gallon Ziploc bag.
I love your videos! Great tips and great presentation. We buy the big pack of ‘shop towels ‘ from Costco to use on camping.trips for hand towels.
Alway good tips but I find your emphasis on everything plastic disturbing. The world is drowning in plastic and it is killing our wildlife. Paper plates save on water and are good fire starters. I use silicone containers for storage. Paper bags or tote bags are good for dirty clothes. There are also eating utensils made of wood or bamboo and paper cups are good for drinks. Please suggest alternatives and stop with all the plastic stuff.
Yess this helped so muck thank you!😁
Thank you for the great tips
What about pot holders or even mitts
Great tips! Thanks.
Sorry, Laurie, but the one thing I wouldn’t forget when all is said and done is the phone number of the nearest Hyatt Hotel! 🙂
Great video! Lots of helpful info for traveling in a motorhome. Love that fork, that was so hilarious!
