I'm going to answer this in point form for you.\n\nFood:\n1)Trail Mix - peanuts, raisins/cranberries, smarties, almonds, caramel popcorn...and anything else you think is good. Make up a couple bags of it. It's great for snacks and energy.\n2)I like to bring hard-boiled eggs, and pre-cooked bacon for breakfast.\n3)Pepperettes and Cheese, lunch\n4)Fruit-to-Go's. They taste great and are good for you.\n5)Crystal Light - Turns water into yummy juice\n6)Sidekicks - Easy to cook in pot on fire (get ones that only need water and butter - milk isn't for camping)\n7)Beef Jerky\n8)Meal replacement bars\n8)Catch a Fish and fillet it.\n9)Frozen meat, ie. steak, pork chops, sausages, will only stay good for one or two nights max. Keep them in a soft cooler and out of the sun. You can cook these up on a grill over the fire. Bring Mrs Dash - Good if you catch a fish too.\nIf you are on a campsite, and won't need to carry everything, it'll be easier. If you're planning on a hike, you might want to follow some of my listed foods above.\n\nGear:\n1)Tent with Fly. Tarp if rain is forcasted, for inside of tent, line it with tarp, corners up toward ceiling.\n2)Thermarests and sleeping bags. Try to get the lightest stuff possible. Keep them DRY.\n3)Small cookstove - a saviour in the rain, or for quick cook-ups. I prefer the ones that use naptha/camp fuel, to propane. Lasts longer and uses less room in my pack.\n4)Water Purifier - So much better to pump your own water than to carry around gallons of it.  Nalgene containers are the best for all your liquid stuff. Some people break their eggs in advance, put them in a nalgene, and then pour them out into the frying pan.\n5)Headlamp - a hands free headlamp is a must for camping! I can't live without mine.\n6)First Aid Kit. Be prepared. Bad things do happen. A huge tree fell a few feet from my tent last year. I was lucky!\n7)A whitle. A loud one. Scares away animals and attracts people if you need help.\n8)A Knife. I couldn't go camping without my lockblade. Also bring thin rope or string. Always handy.\n9)Bug Spray!\n10)Light materialed, baggy clothing is best for summer camping. Bugs have a hard time biting through it cause they're baggy, they dry out fast if they get wet, and they're cool. The zip on/off short/pant deals work best. Light coloured clothing attracts less bugs. Comfy socks and shoes are important too.\n11)Fishing pole and lures. What's camping without fishing?\n\nI could probably go on, but you're probably wondering when I'm going to shut up, lol. Hope this helps!\n\nHappy Trails!

Don't go for Coleman.  Coleman is the best you can buy at Wal-mart.  You should be sure to get something at least water resistant, and preferably water-proof.  The fact is, if you are somewhere when it's raining you want to be nice and snug in your tent, not freaking out trying to stay dry.  You also want one that has lots of window, and can breath.  I use a North Face.  I woudn't really recommend it, because they are a little pricey, but I got a great deal on it.  I would however recommend a Keilty.  You can find them online, or at an REI or other outdoor store.  They are really easy to put up, very durable, and usually reasonable.

Camp. You can't build a campfire and roast marshmallows in your hotel room, and you sure can't hear the rustling trees or see the twinkling stars. You can't step right out your door and be on the lake shore with a hotel unless you are paying way more than I can afford. It's not much fun to bicycle and hike around a hotel, and you sure can't keep your kayak in your room. And I second the respondant who said there is no 11 a.m. checkout for a campsite.

Prince Gallitzin State Park in Pa is nice for family camping. Camper sites with electricity and a beautiful lake. \n\nHaven't camped there, but Falsecape State Park south of VA Beach can only be reached by water or hiking. I know you can find info about it on the net. search for Sandbridge, Va. We kayaked the Back Bay near there. It's very primitive and away from the tourist areas, but close enough to enjoy both.
