What should someone take in a small camping trip?


Travel Info
My Son and I are going on our 1st camping trip. Other than a tent, food what other things should I take on a campping trip. There will be other kids at the camp site. Does anyone know of any games that we can play?

Travel Tips
Well yes of course you will need essentials, camping stove, lantern, flashlights, sleeping bags, bug spray, sun block, cooler, tent, maybe an air mattress, comfy out doors clothes, good sturdy comfy shoes, plates, forks, cups, jugs of water.

For games? You can find a horse shoes set at a local store and bring it along. If there will be a swimming site bring some swimming gear (life jacket, swim suite etc etc), if there is a beach maybe you can set up a volley ball area. Is there a basketball area there?? You might be able to bring a basketball. Bring a ball and glove, atleast you could play catch. Bring a set of walkie talkies, those could be useful and fun, and they are fairly unexpensive. Have a familiy dog? See if it's ok to bring it along, and bring a frisbee and other pet toys.

Usually when you go camping there is a lake not too far away (of course good for swimming) but also good for fishing, so bring along fishing poles just incase (but make sure you have a fishing license). If there is a lake you might be able to rent a paddle boat and take it out on the lake for a spin.
Others
A lantern, flashlight, matches to start a camp fire, an Axe to cut wood plates pot, pans eating utensils,OFF for the bugs,sleeping bags. As far a s games go you will probably find all kind of things to do. If you are unsure take some games from home for entertainment. Good Luck.
try a scavenger hunt; for stuff in the wilderness. hide in seek, anything else that comes to mind... ghost stories..
BUG SPRAY. A MILLION GALLONS OF IT. lol...I would say bring a lot of games to play if it rains, and scavenger hunts are really fun, I did one once at camp, really fun..
