well obviously you need clothes and sleep wear and a pillow and sleeping bag or what ever type of blanket you want to bring, and you need shampoo and conditioner and soap and maybe money for concession?? and bring hair brush and comb for your hair and towels and bathing suit and bring warm clothes it gets cold at night and toothbrush and tooth paste and you should be good.

lots of clothes, but more shorts then long pants.
if there are camp fires, then some sweat pants would be good.

- That’s all I can think of -
shirts, shorts, pants, underwear, socks, pajamas, bathing suits, towels, sweaters/sweatshirts, sneakers, flip flops, sleeping bag, pillow, sheets (depending on your camp), book, stationary, stamps, pen(cil), toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, something to carry shampoo conditioner and soap in the shower, camera, water bottle, suntan lotion, bugspray, sunglasses if you want, deodorant, hair elastics, a brush, cards if you want, ipod if you want, and a trunk to carry all your stuff!
Not all of this stuff is essential, just bring what you need!
I am very experienced when it comes to camping. I know this because I am in a high rank in Scouts. But, you should bring more clothes than the amount of of days you are going (eg. 7days, maybe bring enough clothes to last 12 days). You will also want WOOL socks. Whatever you do, do not wear COTTON! If it rains at all, cotton will keep your clothes wet, and you could get hypothermia. Wear something like polyester or a breathable material.
You would want to wear hiking boots, water resistant is best. You will want to bring sun block, sunglasses, a hat, and most important, WATER!
10 pairs of shorts
10 shirts or tops
5 pairs of jeans or slacks
heavy sweater or warm jacket
raincoat
bathrobe
2 pr. Pajamas
14 underwear
14 pairs of socks
2 pr. white ankle socks
1 pr. rainboots
1 pr. flip-flops
1 pr. sneakers or running shoes
1 pr. sturdy hiking shoes w/ good ankle and arch support
