Sierra Trading Post Tip: Today's filters and filtration systems aren't like the old days of camping supplies.

Many experienced campers recommend creating a checklist with all the items you'll need to take camping with you, including food, cooking supplies, fuel, clothing, and camping equipment.

Some campgrounds do have stores and gas stations, so find out what amenities your campground offers before you leave for your camping vacation.
