They’re a bit hefty but we’ve managed to cart them around Jamaica for two years and all of our other trips too. Our Sahara waterbottle is excellent for staying cold, regardless of the outside temperature. We Recommend: IRIS Stack & Pull Clear Storage Box, 53 Quarts Bin for cooking supplies We kept all of our cooking-related items in one box so we could pull it all out easily for meals. We Recommend: OXO Good Grips Little Dustpan and Brush Set This always comes in handy to dust off your tent before packing it up or clean your shoes after a hike. It held a water bottle, camera, phone, bear spray, mosquito repellent, and extra jackets if necessary. Jedd carried a small backpack on almost every day hike we did. We Recommend: REI Co-op Big Haul Recycled Rolling Duffel – 30″ and Eagle Creek packing cubes Cooler, carry-on, rolling duffle, work bag for laptop, day backpack, bin for cooking suppliesĭue to the nature of our second car camping road trip, we made a lot of short stops at friends’ houses so we packed a small carry-on bag with the stuff we needed that night and left the rest in the large suitcase in the car. We like to keep our clothing a bit neater by packing in separate canvas bags or packing cubes within the suitcase. Our one big suitcase from REI acted as storage for the bulk of our clothing and toiletries. Remember to bring chargers that can be used in your car. It’s easy to lose track of cords and chargers for your electronics, so we keep them all in one bag. Obviously these are not required for going into the wilderness, but for budding digital nomads like ourselves, we had to keep up on our online work every once in a while! Multi-purpose f or grocery shopping, keeping clothing items separate, etc. We Recommend: REI Co-op Cool Haul 24 Soft Cooler These take almost no space and can come in handy if your groceries exceed the size of your cooler. The seating in most campsites is limited to a picnic table, so chairs are necessary if you want to be able to sit by your fire at night. We not only used them camping but also at one AirBnB rental which did not provide towels.Ĭamp chairs were perhaps our bulkiest item after the suitcase. We both have thin, quick dry towels from REI that take up very little space. We Recommend: REI Co-op NEMO Fillo Pillow We always kept a pillow in the front of the car with us as well, which doubled as back support on long drives. We Recommend: REI Co-op Camp Bed Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad (Air mattresses would also require extra room.) The second time around we borrowed some great, compact inflatable pads from our friends. On our first trip we took our own, bulky sleeping pads and they took up too much space in the car. We Recommend: REI Co-op Down Time Sleeping Bag We invested in mummy-style, down sleeping bags from REI Co-op which kept us warm when temperatures dipped into the 30’s at night in Banff. We Recommend: REI Co-op Half Dome 2 Plus Tent ![]() While most nights we didn’t need the rain cover and footprint, we were really glad we had them for protection during two surprise storms. ![]() Road Trip Camping List: Essentials Tent, rain cover, sleeping pads, and camp chairs In the second road trip, we spent almost half of the time staying at friends’ houses, but we still had a two-week stint in the middle of the trip where we camped in National Parks. We spent most of the month camping but tried to stay somewhere with a hot shower and wifi every four (or so) days. Our first road trip took us to about a dozen parks. So far, we’ve completed two epic road trips, one month each, through the National Parks.
