Whenever our family goes camping, there are a few essentials that we find necessary in order to enjoy the trip. While some of these could go without saying, the following may make your next camping trip more enjoyable.

Do not forget your tent. Even RV campers often find that a tent makes a great storage locker for extra gear. Often the kids will enjoy sleeping out in a tent giving mom and dad more room in the RV. Cabin style tents provide more headroom for campers that do dome style tents.

Take lots of inexpensive plastic tarps. Use a large tarp under your tent and prevent moisture from the ground from getting the floor wet. Your tent will stay much cleaner when you get ready to put it back into the bag for transporting home. Pine needles and pitch will not stick to the tent. The tarp can be turned over and allowed to dry a few minutes in the sun before it is swept free of all dirt for folding.

A second tarp comes in handy in case of a rainstorm. The less water that reaches the tent, the less likely it is to develop a leak.

When camping in cooler weather we use other tarps around our canopy for the picnic table in order to form a windbreak. When enclosed on three sides, the heat of a propane lantern helps to keep the family warm while we play cards or board games.

Often we will pay the extra two to four dollars per night in order to get a campsite with electrical hookups. This allows us to make travel much lighter. We will throw in an electric frying pan, hot plate and old electric percolator to meet all of our cooking needs without having to depend on a campfire or bring a bulky camp stove. Sometimes we will throw in a fan to run in the tent. It does wonders at keeping out the noise of the next-door neighbors when campsites seem to be built on top of each other.

A good attitude is the most important thing we take camping with us. As long as the adults have a good attitude, the kids will have fun. Begin the trip with a bad attitude and you will get it back all weekend long.
