Your Camping Supplies Checklist for Summer

Water and More Water

Though water should be on your camping supplies checklist, there are a number of options to hydrate yourself on a camping trip. If you're camping where drinking water isn't available, invest in a water purifier for rivers and lakes. Most campgrounds, however, will have running water that is drinkable, which eliminates the need to bring a lot of extra.

Sun Block

Nothing will ruin a great camping trip the way a bad sunburn can. Make sure the sunscreen on your camping supplies checklist is water resistant and high SPF.

Clothing

Stay cool and dry with synthetic fabrics that won't trap moisture. Hats and sunglasses are important to have on your camping supplies checklist, as well.
