Days are getting longer, temps are getting warmer and summer camping season is officially underway. From eating s'mores by the campfire to exploring nearby trails, summer camping is not just a way to spend your nights — it's an experience in itself. So to make sure you have everything you need for a comfy and cozy night under the stars, we put together a list of essential items you don’t want to leave home without.

CAMPSITE

• Blanket - For all the vanlifers, glampers and car campers out there who don’t have to worry about weight, our Original Puffy Blanket is ideal for camping in comfort. When it comes to multi-day backpacking trips and backcountry excursions, we’d recommend our Featherlite Down Puffy Blanket or Nanoloft Blankets.
• Tent
• Sleeping Pad
• Stuffable Pillowcase - Doubles as a bag for your clothes and a pillow.
• Headlamp
• Camp Chair and Table
• Beer Blanket - To keep your beer cold and your hands warm.
• Everywhere Towel - Designed to completely dry you from head to toe while taking up a fraction of the space of your average beach towel.
