Hi, I go camping every year and this year I want to step it up a notch and be more professional. What I am looking for is stuff to make life easier when out on the road. I also need it to not be too expensive. Thanks!


Answer
The above list is very detailed:

I went camping this Dec in the Western Cape, South Africa. I camped about 500m from the beach.
It was summer here, here's what I had/needed/forgot.

Tomahawk
1m poles for if the wind picks up (secures the tent).
Umbrella (I forgot mine)
Small broom
Tent, matress, bedding/sleeping bag.
Small crates, handy for seats and packing stuff in.
Torch, Scissor, Radio.
Old newspapers (starting fire, cleaning etc.)
balls (for sports)
Camera (memories)
Budget and menu
Planning (test ur tent beforehand, plan ur site etc.)
Every camper (own chair, cup, plate, utensils)
Toilet paper (enough)
Good company :-)
