22 Must Have Camping Items

Camping is a great time to make memories with family and friends. It’s also a time to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. Less is usually more when you plan a camping trip, but it’s fun to have games to play, a comfy place to sit, entertainment for the kids, and lots of good snacks.

I got together with a friend of mine that loves to camp and we came up with a list of great items to enjoy while camping!
