Check the local rules. Fire bans, bear storage, and campsite limits change by place and season. A good list does not replace a ranger’s advice.

Check items as they go into the car. The list stays in this browser, and the print view fits a clipboard.

Pack sheet
Three answers. One trip-specific list.
Not a gear catalog, not a 200-item list you have to edit. Start with the trip you are actually taking.
Describe the trip
Tent, car, RV, or backcountry; nights, people, weather, and what you plan to do.
Get the right gear
Rain gear appears when it is wet; leveling blocks only for the RV; kids and dogs add their own kit.
Check, pack, print
Tap items as they go in. The print view turns the list into a clipboard sheet with boxes.
A generic list is why you forgot the stakes.
Most camping checklists are written for an imaginary trip: one person, fair weather, a campsite with a picnic table. The real trip has four people, a dog, a forecast that turns wet, and a tent you have not pitched since last summer.
Camp Ready starts with the shape of the trip. A backcountry list drops the cooler and adds a water filter and beacon. An RV list adds leveling blocks and hoses. A cold-weather trip adds layers; kids and dogs add their own kit. Quantities scale with people and nights.
Pack the trip you are taking
- Tent, car, RV, or backcountry — the core list changes, not just the title.
- Weather-aware layers, rain gear, and dry storage.
- Kids and dogs add their own items and quantities.
- Check off as you pack; print a paper list for the glovebox.
It is still a starting point. Check the campsite rules, the forecast, and your own gear before you leave. The best checklist is the one you actually use.
Good questions.
Short answers. Check the campsite rules before you pack the axe.
Is Camp Ready free?
Yes. No account, no email, and no paid unlock. Build as many trip lists as you like.
Where is my checklist saved?
In this browser’s local storage. It does not go to a server. Clearing browser data or switching devices will clear the checks, so print the list if you want a permanent copy.
What is the difference between tent, car, and RV lists?
Tent camping gets the full sleep and shelter kit. Car camping adds air mattresses and car-side comforts. RV camping swaps the tent for leveling blocks, hoses, power, and tank gear. Backcountry keeps the weight down and adds a filter, beacon, and bear storage.
Does it add items for kids and dogs?
Yes. Kids add wipes, games, and a night light; dogs add a leash, food, bowls, waste bags, and a towel. The counts also increase quantities for people and nights.
What if rain or cold is in the forecast?
Choose wet or cold and the list adds rain layers, a tarp, dry bags, warm layers, a beanie, and gloves. It is still a packing list, not a forecast; check the local weather before you leave.
Can I print the checklist?
Yes. The Print list button opens your browser’s print dialog. The print stylesheet keeps the categories and checkboxes and hides the site navigation.
