Camping List
(* for really important) Flashlights with batteries
Wooden matches and a lighter

Basic tools-
phillips head and slot head screwdrivers,
a hammer, and a camp knife are a must.
If you know anything about car maintenance add to this basic list.

A fire extinguisher - it may sit in your trunk for years or you might find yourself putting out an engine fire like I did a few years ago.
A first aid kit
A sewing kit- scissors, thread, a few needles and safety pins will do it.
*Duct tape
Dish soap
*Rope
Sharp Knife
A cup for each camper
A roll of trash bags - Great for packing up wet gear, dirty laundry, dirty dishes, and trash.

Toiletries
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Mouthwash or breath mints
Shampoo
*Toilet Paper and a small shovel - Just in case you can't find a rest room!
Hair conditioner
*Quarters for the Showers
Hair combs and/or brushes
Hand soap - I find the anti-bacterial soaps very reassuring on camping trips
Sun screen
*Bug Repellent
Skin lotion
*Tweezers - Someone is always getting a wood or glass sliver.
Aspirin, Tylenol, or some other pain receiver
Children Tylenol or other kid size fever reducer
Thermometer
Finger nail clippers or nail file
Deodorant
Lip balm - some come with U.V. protection
Prescription medications - get spares of all you can; especially allergy and athsma medications as these conditions an be worsened by changing climate and vegetation.
