Were going in our caravan and I was hoping somebody would give me an idea of a checklist. I always forget stuff so list EVERYTHING!!! even the obvious stuff like pj's (I auctually forgot them once) I am BEGGING for help if I forget anything then dad will send me straight home and I wanna do all the stuff he has planned
Thanks to all the people that have helped so far, i've got a good feeling about going on this camping trip!

What is the best family camping tent? Experienced campers are needed!

Emilee

I would like to purchase a family camping tent for my husband and kids - only problem, I don't know ANYTHING about camping! I know I would like a 2 or 3 room tent, but I would like to be able to stand up in the side rooms. Some of the tents I have looked at it appears that you must "crawl" into the side tents. Is this a common thing? Also what do you suggest I purchase as necessities along with the tent? Sleeping bags, cots, stove? Any help is greatly appreciated, again I have never in my life camped so this is completely new to me.

What are some things that you find essential for camping? Things that you don't leave home without???
