Camping Packing List
Pack list from Magnolia Journal, Hat from Wander North Georgia, Water bottle from REI
I wanted to put together a packing list for our first camping trip and have it here as a resource for you guys! I asked on Instagram for your best camping tips and you guys flooded me with the most genius ideas and hilarious responses (“get a hotel!” hahaha). We are bringing our happy faces and adventurous spirits and coming prepared!!
Ultimate Camping Packing List for a Family of Four:
6 person tent (for a family of 4 - we were told to take the recommended person amount and to divide it in half for accuracy - so you may want to go up in size if you want space)
4 sleeping bags - I got this one because it’s great for rolling on your side. Sam and the girls got REI Co-op bags!
4 self inflating sleeping pads - the self inflating feature is key! We were also told that pool floats work great for kids to sleep on!
Solar lanterns - these collapsible ones are so cool and don’t take up space when packing
Clip on fans for tents - Georgia gets HOT so these were highly recommended
Pillows from home
Triple the snacks you think you need (heard this from multiple people!)
Pre-cooked meals or Dutch oven meals with liners for easy clean up! 25 Dutch oven recipes for camping here!

Essential Oils - Citronella, Lavender (for all things skin), Owie (for any bumps in the road), Purification for bug bites, Peppermint for cooling down (feels amazinggg on the back of your neck!), Thieves for wellness support, Digize for all things tummy, Tummygize for the girl’s tummies
