Stocking up on camping essentials doesn’t have to be expensive and shopping in January and February is a great time to catch some deals! Every camping trip we take I seem to always forget one or two little things, so I keep a cute camping journal with me to write these things down. Simple items like aluminum foil, coffee filters, sidewalk chalk, or a travel toothbrush. These are just a few things on my list, but I thought since our camper is hibernating for winter now would be a great time to check out the local Dollar Store or Amazon for some deals. I have compiled a list of handy things I have found to have for camping which can be bought and tucked away until spring arrives.
