1st Time Campers

Tue, 08/03/2010 - 00:05 — Robin Cline

We are having a "girls weekend out" camping trip in a couple of weeks. There are 4 of us going & we are all 1st time campers. We are looking for any helpful advice we can find. We have a tent, however, we have no clue what else to bring. We are going to an actual camp ground where they do have a building with potties and showers. Any helpful advice?
