Camping log booklet to print and fold, a pocket journal for 4 trips

This camping log booklet folds into an undated 24 page pocket journal that follows you through four camping trips. Each trip gets a plan, a meal plan, a campsite record with room to sketch your pitch and a memories page, and the booklet also holds a shared packing checklist, a wish list of campgrounds and an end of season review. You download a 15 page PDF for US Letter paper (half letter booklet pages, 5.5 x 8.5 in) and for A4 paper (A5 booklet pages, 148 x 210 mm), instantly.

The pages are already arranged in booklet order. Print both sides, fold the stack, add two staples and your camp journal is ready.

Why campers love this camping log booklet

No cutting at all: each booklet page fills exactly half a sheet, and the page numbers fall into order the moment you fold. The packing checklist has four small circles beside every item, one for each trip, so a single list serves the whole season and you see at a glance what is already loaded.

Every trip has its own two spreads. On the first, the trip plan (campground, site number, arrival and departure times, reservation code, site type) sits across from a three day menu with a shopping list. On the second, the campsite record with a box to draw your site faces a page for favorite moments and a photo. Once all four trips are full, print a new copy for next season.

Who this camp journal is for

• Campers in tents, RVs or cabins who want a light paper record for a season of weekend getaways
• Families who plan the packing and the menu together and want to remember each campground
• Anyone who notes which site had shade or privacy so they can book the right one next year
• Campers who enjoy drawing their pitch, taping in a photo and writing down the funny moments

Booklet design and paper sizes

• Soft, minimal style: white pages with light blush pink details that need very little ink
• Roomy margins, so a home printer does not clip anything
• US Letter file: two half letter pages (5.5 x 8.5 in) on each side of a landscape 11 x 8.5 in sheet
• A4 file: two A5 pages (148 x 210 mm) on each side of a landscape A4 sheet
• Pages already sit in saddle-stitch order, so nothing needs cutting
• Undated, so the booklet can start in any season of any year
• Pink fold guides on every sheet, a number on every booklet page and staple guides on the middle spread

Good to know

• You receive a digital file only. Nothing physical is mailed.
• Printed colors may look a little different from your screen.
• For your personal use only. Please do not share, resell or pass the files on.
• Digital files can't be returned. If a file will not open or print correctly, email us and we will help quickly.
• The trip plan and packing pages help you organize. They are not safety advice, so always follow campground rules, fire bans, ranger instructions and local weather warnings.
• Every printer aligns the back of a page slightly differently, so run one test sheet on plain paper before printing the full booklet.
