What will I need to go tent camping?

Blue987

I've grown up "camping" however it was always in a jumbo motor home. Next weekend I'm going tent camping and I want to be prepared. This is what I'm bringing... what else will I need?

Our site has water and electric, and bathrooms and showers close by:

Bringing:
tents
sleeping bags/pillow
small grill and propane
cooler with food/water
towels
plates/utensils/grill utensils
bug spray and sunscreen
clothes/ flip flops / sneakers / swimsuit / toiletries
flashlights
deck of cards
fire wood - will buy there
lighter

What else might I need? Temp will be high of 90 during the day, low of 59 at night. Possibility of rain at night

Thanks!

Oh yikes, it's VERY uncomfy sleeping on a sleeping bag in a tent on the ground PLEASE buy a mat or air mattress to put underneath your sleeping bag.
remember to place a tarp under the tent. and to check for big rocks/ sticks where you're going to put your tent.
