Campsite Packing List
Forgetting a tent stake or headlamp can ruin a camping trip — this checklist adapts to your trip type, season, and group so nothing gets left behind.
Pick car camping, backpacking, RV, or canoe and the list rebuilds itself: backpacking trims to ultralight gear, RV adds leveling blocks and a sewer hose, canoe adds dry bags and life jackets. Switch to winter and it layers in a four-season bag, a liner, and hand warmers.
Check off each item as you pack, add anything specific to your trip, and share the list with everyone in your group so the chores split evenly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What changes between summer and winter camping packing lists?
Winter trips add a four-season sleeping bag, a sleeping bag liner, an insulated pad, hand and toe warmers, snow stakes, and insulated boots. Summer swaps those for insect repellent, extra water capacity, and a sun shelter. The generator updates the list automatically when you change the season.
Do RV trips need a different packing list than tent camping?
Yes. The RV list adds leveling blocks, a potable water hose, a sewer hose with fittings, a 30/50A electrical adapter, wheel chocks, and a surge protector — items tent and backpacking campers never carry.
Can I add my own items and share the list?
You can add custom items to any category, check them off as you pack, and tap Share to generate a link. Anyone you send it to sees a read-only copy and can save it to their own list with one tap.
Does the list save my progress?
Yes. Your list and every checkbox state are stored in your browser, so you can pack over several days and pick up exactly where you left off without signing in.
