Camping tips?

prepare4tr

My mum and dad are going camping this weekend for two nights. It's my mum's first time, and I don't think my dad's been in over 20 years. Does anyone have any last minute advice I can give them, things to take, things to do, etc so that they'll think I'm a genius, and also so they don't come home early and ruin my plans.

If it makes a difference, they're going on a camp site with toilet facilities etc on site. And they're taking the dog with them.

Camping help!?

blue92

Okay, so this is my first time going camping with my family. I've gone with friends who had RV's, but this time we are just staying in a cabim. The cabin has no kitchen stuff (fridge, microwave, sink, etc) or bathroom, but the campsite does. It is in Michigan. It would be in August or October. What is a list of things to bring along? The longer list, the better. All help is appreciated.
