What Do I Need To Bring On a Campout?

Normally for camping trips we are gone for 1 – 2 nights so it would be a good idea to bring a sleeping mat and sleeping bag, you should also pack a change of clothes in case something happens while on a hike or pack a swimsuit if your going to be doing something involving water. You should also bring a mess kit as it is a good thing to bring on any camping trip.
