items I'm more into glamping than backpacking. This list is geared towards those who like a mix of luxury with outdoors.
I personally have the Core 9 person tent and have loved having the extra room by myself to create a whole glamping setup. I also plan to get the instant 4 person tent for smaller camping trips.

When camping, tools for building and maintaining a fire are so essential. A pocket bellows lets you blow on the fire without getting close enough to singe your hair.

Having a portable power bank is great while camping. It's good for keeping all your gadgets charged up and devices powered. It's also useful to keep on hand at home in case of power outages.

If you prefer camping without electricity, a cot is your best option for comfortable sleep. I love this Teton XXL cot, and the bonus is the company has fantastic customer service and a website for replacement parts when needed.

Coleman has been the standard for camping stoves for decades. There are a lot of options for stoves: one burner or two, propane or butane, full size with wind guard or tiny backpack rocket stove. This two burner propane model is fairly common.

Cast iron is another piece of standard camping equipment. The pieces you'll probably find most useful are a griddle and a Dutch oven for a group, or a basic pot and pan for solo.

My favorite tool for morning coffee is the AeroPress. It can make one small cup or a whole pot depending on concentration. And clean up is so easy.

I cannot stress enough how useful a good multi tool is. Pliers, small knife, can and bottle opener, tiny scissors, etc. I've used these for everything from opening mail to working on my car.
