I am going to a B&B, but they have a wide expanse of camping grounds, which is where a group of us (4) will be staying. They also have tent rentals, wood, access to a grill, and bathrooms. Since I'm a novice, I wanted to start this way. What should I bring? What should I know? I would love your expertise!

Bring along as little as possible. Air mattress under blankets or sleeping bags are much more comfortable than cots and take up less room while traveling. You will also need a small Coleman propane stove for cooking. Bugs are always a problem, so bring along bug lotion or spray and plastic wrap to keep food easily covered. Lots of dirt and debris gets tracked into tents, so a small plastic whisk broom and dustpan are most helpful. A large inexpensive door mat in front of the tent entrance really helps to keep the dirt down. Bring TWO large igloo coolers along. One is never enough. A fold-up camp chair for everyone is necessary. And, a nice camp light or lantern is needed. Keep the entrance flap closed and secured at night to keep critters from coming inside. They will try. Two big bungee cords are good for securing down a plastic tablecloth from the wind at both ends of a picnic table. Bring along a 30-50 foot length of plastic rope or clothes-line cord for a clothes line. Don't leave any valuables in the tent whenever you leave the campsite, even to use the restrooms. Keep valuables locked up inside your vehicle. Park your vehicle not so much for added privacy, but to block traffic from accidentally plunging into your tent.
