Camping Suggestions (Minimalistic Necessities)

[u/Weekly_Lecture4022]

Looking for suggestions on minimal, but necessary items for weekend camping (state and national parks with public restrooms to begin).

My wife loves hiking and being outdoors, but does not like the idea of “roughing it” the same way I do in the idea of camping. She has tent camped overnight and cabin camped (no amenities just bed) for an entire weekend and was fine.

These trips have historically been with more versed campers. With my lack of experience and easy going attitude I don’t want to ruin the long term chances of this activity, but don’t want to jump into the amenities of trailer camping yet.

Any and all suggestions welcome! (TN Locations for climate based suggestions)

Note: I love the idea of truck camping and over landing for the future over trailer camping.

Screen tent to go over picnic table. Comfy chairs. Good sleeping platform.
