A checklist we would actually use at the car trunk on Friday afternoon. Tick items as you load them. It works offline once the page has loaded, and it prints on one or two sheets.

Notes that save a trip
Pack by bin, not by item. One bin for the kitchen, one for lighting and tools, one for bedding. At the campground the kitchen bin goes straight to the picnic table and nobody hunts for the spatula.
Buy firewood near the campground. Many parks and states restrict moving firewood because it can carry invasive insects. Check the campground’s rules before you bring your own.
Test the stove and the lantern at home. A dead lantern battery is a mild annoyance in the driveway and a real problem at 9 pm in the dark.
Keep a second, shorter list of what you forgot. After each trip, write down what you wished you had and what you never touched. After three trips this list is better than any template, including this one.
Keep the list for next time
CampCrew has a shared packing checklist for each trip, so the person loading the car and the person at home can both see what is packed. It is a notebook for your crew, not a store, and it has no ads.
