Planning A Camping Trip Checklist

Any of this sound familiar?

Have you ever been locked out of a campground because you arrived after hours as a result of not calculating your travel time correctly?
How about getting blisters because you hit the trail in tennis shoes because you forgot to pack your hiking boots?
Did you ever have to interrupt a camping trip to run to the store because you ran out of ice in your cooler packed with perishable food?
Have you paid additional fees on rental equipment because you didn’t know there were maximum limits (like mileage) in the contract?
Did you ever have to call a tow truck as a result of running out of gas because you didn’t calculate your driving distance?

All of that madness is TOTALLY AVOIDABLE!

Packing lists ensure you won’t forget important gear at home.

Using a worksheet helps you plan the logistics of your entire trip.
