If you want a good basic tent these ones are great. The dark technology can really help cut down on the heat during the day. And if you have kids that wake up with the sun you might even get an extra hour or two of sleep.
Coleman Skydome Dark Room Tent 4-10 Person
These are so nice to save on storage space, but still have serving bowls on hand!
Collapsible Bowls
Throw a block of ice in here to have cold water on hand at all times. We either fill this before leaving or fill at the campsite if there is water there.
Igloo 5 Gallon Portable Cooler
The rocking camp chairs can be the perfect way to relax while you listen to the river.
GCI Outdoor Comfort Pro Rocker Collapsible Chair
I love having camp chairs with some mesh on the back. These keep you so much cooler in the hot summer months. No more sweaty back! They have ones where the seat is also mesh, but I don't feel they are as sturdy.
Black Sierra Camping Chair
A must have! 6 feet is the perfect length and I love the ones that fold in half. Makes packing and hauling them so much easier.
Folding Table 6ft
Having a smaller table is super handy. Use it as a wash station, a drop zone by your tent/trailer, or a prep table by your camp stove. Lots of uses and they don't take up as much space as the larger tables.
Folding Table 4 Foot
This one item will cut down on SO much dirt in your tent or RV. Easy to sweep off and spray clean, these are a great addition to have.
Outdoor Camping Rug
A collapsible dish tub with a drain?!? Genius! This will simplify the clean up process and get you back to enjoying nature sooner.
2.4 Gal(9L) Collapsible Dish Basin with Drain Plug
You can't forget the most important thing about camping-smores! Having something like this makes it so easy to have everything organized and on hand when you're ready to enjoy that fire.
Smores Station
Space saving and so handy when you are camping. We keep one of these right by the door to our RV and one by the cooking station.
29.5-Gallon Pop Up Outdoor Garbage Can
If you're looking to up your smores game when camping-this has some really yummy ideas to try!
15 Creative S'mores Recipes
These are a bit of an investment, but a good cooler saves a lot of trouble so I reccommend having one good cooler that you can pack full of ice to use in other coolers throughout the camping trip.
YETI Tundra 45 Cooler
This style of roasting sticks is great for easy storage. They telescope down and come with a storage bag. Typically the quality isn't quite as nice as ones that don't telescope, but the ease of storage can be worth it.
