Here are some packing tips if you're doing the "real" kind of camping (i.e not car camping, RVing, etc., etc.)

Make sure you have a bag for your sleeping bag. Roll it as tightly as possible, the bigger it is the more akward it is to carry/pack. Roll all your clothes and anything that isn't going to spill or brake and get all over everything inside your sleeping bag. This will create more room in your pack.

Wool socks are essential. They will keep your feet warm even if they are wet. Do not wear regular sports socks inside them, only wear those if you're not doing any hiking or the likes.


Do you have anything to sleep on? A thermarest is the best but can be pricey. If you haven't been camping before you're probably not going to enjoy sleeping directly on the ground.
