Make sure to bring:
Waterbottle
Insect repellent
Sunblock
Extra socks/underwear
Flashlight
Trail mix, maybe?
A foam pad to put under your sleeping bag to keep it off the ground, and not as cold (not inflatable ones.. the air gets super cold in them at night)
Compass/Map
Pocket knife

well it depends on the temp. where u r going & what is there.

if its hot take tanks & shorts. camping can get very sweaty & uncomfortable. make sure u have old shoes & plenty of socks.

if it is nice weather around 65-70 degrees take regular summertime clothes like just tee is & shorts, & u will probably want to take a sweatshirt & pants for the evening, bc it can get pretty cold.

also dont forget ur swimming suit if there is a place to swim..

make sure u have some stuff to keep u busy, because other than going fishing or walking in the woods or sitting by a fire there is not much to do while camping. cards r always good.

and the most important thing is SMORES!!!!!

have fun.

first of all if you are camping in the forest area with bears or other scavenging animals you may want to store all of your food above ground(rope between trees) bears and other animals will come into tents if they are hungry.
bug spray is a must

You may want to bring any of the things below:

blowup air mattress pad
sleeping bag *
pillow
pajamas *
warm clothes (sweatshirt, coat?) for cold nights *
cool clothes for warm days *
hiking boots
swimsuit
beach towel
hat
sunscreen *
bug spray *
toothbrush *
toothpaste *
washcloth
shower towel
shower shoes (flip-flops, crocs)
shampoo
conditioner
other toiletries (makeup, feminine stuff, hair gel, blowdrier?)
cards/games/books
camera *
wet wipes (in lieu of walking to the bathroom to wash ur hands)

l am assuming that someone else will be bringing the food, cooking utensils, firewood, & first aid kit.

Be forewarned that one of the adventures of camping is doing without things u thought u might need (maybe makeup or a blowdrier) & that if u bring too much stuff, u might get teased a little. If you're camping with ''serious campers packing light is a virtue.

If you're backpacking, bring just the bare necessities (starred above). If you're tent camping, add in the air mattress pad (will really help u sleep better) & a moderate amount of toiletries. If you're in an RV, u probably wo not need the sleeping bag & can fit in even more toiletries.

One thing not to bring & keep in ur tent: snacks. They can attract bears, raccoons, ants, etc.

Enjoy yourself!
