The Ideal Camping Trip

Lately all I've been thinking about is camping. We're planning a Yosemite trip for my birthday, and in the perfect world (if money were no object), these are the items I'd take so I could camp in style.*


Product information, clockwise from top left.

1. Cute lanterns.

2. REI Kingdom 4 Tent. This tent has a dividable interior, so you can create a cozy sleeping nook and have living space, or have privacy when you've got multiple people camping.

3. Solar Powered Star String Lights for hanging inside the tent. Easy to power during the day for romantic nighttime lighting.

4. A French Press. This gives the option of cold brewing over night - no need to heat water up in the morning!

5. Guide books and trail books for nature-filled goodness during the day.

6. A Rucksack (from etsy seller Infusion), in which to pack water bottles and guide books while hiking.

7. Wool Duffle Bag from Filson.

8. Instax Mini Camera for capturing the sights.

9. Yosemite Blanket from Pendleton - (ps - they have tons of National Park Blankets to choose from).

10. Flannel-Lined Sleeping Bag from LLBean. Gotta love the classic check!

11. An Ice Cream Ball - does double duty as entertainment and dessert maker.

12. Star and Moon Fire Pit from LL Bean.

13. Last but not least - a classic skillet and bacon!!

*Camping in Style is not to be confused with GLAMPING, which is not really camping at all.

What would you take on your ideal camping trip?
