Great data sheet. Camping is definitely a great way to bang. All the things you bring sound pretty good. One thing I didn't see were trash bags. I always carry those whenever I go out to the woods.
Never been to a camp ground where I had to pay money. I'm usually out in the middle of nowhere with some buddies and some girls.
Didn't really think about the clothing being a big deal for women. Sounds pretty good to me if it gets chilly. I remember one year when I was out camping when it was pretty cold, I had on a flannel shirt and some jeans with flannel sewed into the inside. Perfect for staying warm, didn't feel a thing and didn't look terrible either.
One thing I do carry if I go camping in the woods is a pistol. It usually stays in my truck unless I decide to go hiking. I remember people telling me about bobcats and bears that would sometimes be found in the area. That made me a little paranoid so I thought carrying would be a good idea just in case.
Good call on the trashbags. I keep them inside my hiking backpack, so I forgot about them.
As for pistols, you have to be careful about federal and state regulations. I live in a state that is very gun friendly, in which case, I carry a pistol (Glock 23). But if I travel across the border to another state, pistols are illegal (even though I have a permit to carry).
There are also laws that make carrying guns into a federally owned campground illegal.
This is an article about how it works in California:

I carry a pistol if I'm staying in the state that I live (where I know my rights), but other than that, it's way too complicated. My factory purchased guns might be totally legal in one state, and "high capacity" in another state.
