✅ What to Pack for a 7-Day Camping Getaway

👕 Clothing (Per Person)

• 4–5 shirts or tops

• 2 pairs of shorts

• 1 pair of long pants

• 1 jumper or hoodie

• 1 set of sleepwear

• 1 waterproof jacket

• Undies & socks for 7 days (double up if you like — no one ever regretted extra socks!)

• 1 pair of thongs + 1 pair of closed shoes

• Swimmers & rashie

CamPaq Tip: Pack clothes into our Medium or Large Clear Bags so you can see exactly what’s inside — no rummaging, no repacking. Roll clothes to save space.
➡️ Our Big Daddy Bundle is ideal for 7-day trips.

🧼 Toiletries

• Toothbrush & toothpaste

• Soap/shampoo/conditioner (travel size = less bulk)

• Hairbrush

• Sunscreen & insect repellent

• Deodorant

• First-aid kit (just the basics)

CamPaq Tip: Use a clear toiletry bag — leaks are easier to clean, and you’ll never grab mozzie spray instead of dry shampoo again.

🍽️ Kitchen & Cooking Essentials

• Basic pantry staples (oil, salt, tea, coffee, cereal)

• Meal plan & matching ingredients (hint: keep it simple — precooked meal packs = less stress)

• Plates, cutlery, cups (eco-friendly disposables save water for washing up)

• Tea towels, sponge, dish soap

• Ziplock bags or reusable containers

• Rubbish bags

• Hand sanitiser (quick clean-ups, water saver)

Leave it at home: That third chopping board. And no, you don’t need three sets of tongs either. 😉

⚡ Gear & Gadgets

• Power leads + adaptors

• Charging cords

• Power bank with plenty of juice

• Torch or headlamp

• Portable fan (hello, summer nights!)

• Camp chairs

• Picnic rug

• Clothesline & pegs

CamPaq Tip: Keep cords, chargers, and torches together in a toiletry bag. You’ll thank yourself when it’s dark and you need that USB light.

❌ What to Leave at Home

• The “just in case” pile (be honest — you won’t wear it)

• Duplicate toys the kids never use

• Bulky tubs that hog half your van

• Anything that can’t handle a bump in the road

• Toys or games that require 47 pieces to set up

🧳 Bag Recommendations for a 7-Day Trip

👨👩👧👦 Family of 4
→ Family Paq – 1 Large Bag + 1 Medium Bag + 1 Toiletry Bag. Plenty of room for everyone’s gear (no more “Muuuum, where’s my stuff?”).

🎯 Final Tip: Pack with Purpose

The best packing advice of all? Pack with purpose.
If it doesn’t have a place or a purpose, it doesn’t come.
