You're hoping to have bought at least some things that are general crowd-pleasers. But... Once you get there, is there anything you can think of that you SHOULD HAVE brought that you DIDN'T bring?

Do you need camping gas?), chocolate, sugar, salt, pepper, (favourite list of spices), toilet paper, napkins, rubber bands, string.

Camping is getting away from it all, not taking it all with you. Give each person a small hand line, a sinker, and a fish hook. They won't starve.
