Camping planner printable with gear checklist, meal plan and journal

This camping planner printable is for families, couples and friends who like every part of the trip sorted before they pull out of the driveway. Its 15 undated pages help you pick a campsite, pack the gear, plan meals at camp and save your memories. It comes as an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4, and nothing is shipped.

How a camping planner printable makes trips easier

One overview page holds the campground, site and booking number, check-in times and handy contacts, and you can weigh up to three campgrounds side by side before reserving. A packing checklist over two pages covers shelter and sleeping, clothes, toiletries, tools, first aid, kids and pets, so nothing important gets left behind.

Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for five days, shop from a grocery list, run through a camp kitchen checklist, then note each campground for future trips. Print a new set for each weekend away.

Who this camping binder is for

• Families planning a tent, cabin or RV trip with children or pets
• First-time campers who want a complete packing list
• Couples and friends heading out for a weekend in nature
• Regular campers who want to remember their favorite campgrounds and sites

Design and printing

• Minimal, elegant white pages with blush pink touches that use very little ink
• Wide borders, so a home printer will not clip anything
• Portrait pages sized US Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches, and A4, 210 by 297 mm
• Undated, so a new set can be printed for each trip
• Fits a binder or clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a copy shop
