Camping Supply Calculator

Calculate gear quantities and supplies needed for a camping trip based on number of nights, people, and season.

Camping Supply List

Camping supply planning depends on trip length, group size, and weather conditions.

Essential gear per person:

  • Shelter: 1 tent per 2–3 people
  • Sleeping: 1 sleeping bag + 1 sleeping pad per person
  • Food: ~2 lbs (0.9 kg) of food per person per day
  • Water: 1 gallon (3.8L) per person per day
  • Clothing: 1 outfit per day + 1 extra + rain gear

Fuel estimates (for camp stove):

  • Small canister (100g): ~1 hour of burn time
  • 1 canister per 2 people per day for cooking

Seasonal considerations:

  • Spring/Fall: Extra layers, rain gear, warmer sleeping bag
  • Summer: Sun protection, insect repellent, extra water
  • Winter: Insulated pad, 0°F-rated bag, hand warmers, extra fuel

Tips:

  • Pack 10% extra food in case of delays
  • Bring a water filter or purification tablets as backup
  • Check campsite amenities — some provide fire pits, picnic tables, and water
