10 Must-Have Items for the Ultimate Camping Trip

7. Travel Wash Kit

When you’ve spent the day walking on the trail, there’s no guarantee that you’ll enjoy a hot shower before bedtime. Pack a small wash kit with compact, light essentials, including soap, shampoo, and a washcloth or baby wipes for the times you’re in need of a refresh.

Throw a microfiber travel towel in your backpack too. Not only is it best for quick drying, but it also dries itself quickly, so you don’t have to carry a funky towel around with you for the rest of your camping trip.

Any container or bag that you can use to put all of your camping toiletries is a great option. Or you can choose a bag designed specifically for toiletries. It’s up to you.
