Packing List

Every family must ultimately find their place on the continuum between a Class A Motorcoach and sleeping outside on a rock. We tent camp, avoid plug-in electronics and lanterns, but we are generally open to most other sorts of gear.

This page contains our general camping list. We might modify it a bit depending on the specifics of the destination. For example, Garner State Park has a lovely swimming area, so we brought life jackets, swimsuits and goggles. Big Bend State Ranch has limited bathrooms, so we brought 5 gallons of water, a trowel, and toilet paper.
