By popular demand (okay, one person asked), here is our camping packing list. Obviously, this is not a backpacking list, unless you have a very strong back. After losing stuff from the roof of our Explorer on our last trip, we don't put stuff on the roof anymore! Many items on the list, such as swim suits or the heater, are seasonal. Please adjust to suit your needs. Let us know if there's something we've forgotten.
