Are you backpacking or car camping? You would bring what you normally would bring for those types of camping if there were multiple people, you just don’t have as many people to plan for. So, bring a small tent, a stove and equipment to cook your food and the other basic necessities. If you are backpacking, remember that you will need to carry everything yourself.
Remember to let someone back home know your travel plans, including when you expect to return. That way, if they don’t hear from you, they can call the ranger station and they’ll start looking for you.
underwear
shirt
trousers
pyjama’s
jumper (IMPORTANT IF IT’S COLD!)
swimming costume (if at/near the beach)
toothbrush
torches
wet wipes (for hands/feet/face/anywhere!)
alcohol hand gel
lip balm
a charged up phone
bug spray
rubbish bags
flannel/shampoo etc if there are showers at the campsite
food
drink
socks
flat sandles

sun cream
hair brush
face wipes
deodorant

food
gas camping cooker

and a book
as an eagle scout i did a lot of camping in various types of weather here is what you need:
tent
backpack (you will be able to fit almost everything in one as opposed to suitcases; needs to be at least 4800 cubic inches)
a backpacking stove
eating utensils (such as metal pots and pans and cutlery this will make for easy cleanup)
as much food as necessary for the trip
clothing for the season
a Global Positioning System (get one in the range of about 300 to 400. they are good and some can float on water)
lots of water
a means of communication ( such as a cell phone)
a map and compass (if you re not careful the batteries in the gps will run out)
toiletries ( such as a toothbrush)
a shovel to dig your latrine
a flashlight
a watch
Extra Batteries
rain gear for everyone in your group
highly reflective blanket
fire starters
wood (if you’re going to a campsite; If not you can just collect some in the woods)
matches or another way of starting a fire
let someone know where you re going and when you re expecting to be back so they know when to send for help if necessary
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST TAKE ANOTHER RESPONSIBLE ADULT. YOU MUST HAVE A BUDDY BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND/OR YOUR INJURIES !!!! YOU’RE CHILDREN WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

besides the obvious campinmg supplies i always bring my Ipod and portable speakers on solo trips –you’re gonna want some “company”
Alright well for a three day camping trip i would reccomend…
Toilet paper
shovel
Canned / dehydrated foods
A multitool such as an army swiss knife or leatherman
waterproof clothes
a good sturdy tent
matches/lighter
radio
a well insulated sleeping bag
a can of pepper spray in case of bears
a good amount of water or a water purification filter if you are going to be next to a water source
comfortable protective shoes
flashlight
extra batteries
eating utensils
paper plates
first aid kit
sunscreen
bug sparay
chapstick
pillow
toothpaste
toothbrush
a cooler
antispetic spray or something of the sort (neosporin works well)
nailclippers
hand sanitizer
and a trash can with trash bag for all your garbage (please do not litter)
I reccomend packing all of these things otherwise camping by yourself can quickly turn into a pain in the arse.
