Well, the list above has covered it all and more. Make sure you have a plastic tarp. It can be used to cover the ground from moisture or for quick shelter and shade if needed. It can also be used to gather condensation if you need water. Bring a small mirror to signal with if you get lost or to start a fire if you need to.

Rope is always handy. Never know what emergency will require rope. And I personally always take a good sharp hip knife. Millions of uses.
Also, make sure common sense in in ample supply. Thats usually the best tool in the wild.

it kinda depends on where you camp. most state parks have bathroom facilities, so rule out the shovel. you probably should take your own TP.
dry wood, matches and a firestarter are great. tent. sleeping bag and pillow. lots of junk food, of course hot dogs and marshmallows. ice chest for milk and juice.
the less stuff you take the better. have fun.

Holly has taken the fun out of this question by citing the inventory of her house as what you "need" to bring. What no recliner?
