What equipment do I need if I want to go camping for the first time? Four of us are planning to go including 2 children under 10. We plan to camp for a couple of days.
Need more information. What will you be camping in:
Tent, travel trailer, fiver, motorhome, etc.

I agree, what you need will depend upon what you are camping with and how.
As an example, will you be cooking your own meals, i.e. rv stove, camp stove, grilling or eating out? Will you have electricity/water or are you boondocking/dry camping? Do you have a fridge or will you be using coolers? Are you sleeping on beds, air mattresses or cots; are you using sleeping bags or bed linens?
As you can see, a little more information will get you the correct better responses to your question.

We always carry a shovel (small folding type) and an ax (for cutting fallen wood for a fire). As others have said, it depends on where you camp (fee type campground or out boondocking) and what kind of rig you have. Either way - ENJOY!
you don't need much for a couple days. if it is a planned activity like a beach trip, bring some beach toys etc. food, shelter, extra clothes like listed above.
and believe me it is not going to hurt you if you forget something. there are stores 'usually' nearby for the one time run to get a few things. it is only a few days and the next time you go out you know what you are missing.

Either way - ENJOY!
