* Where will you go on your camping trip?
* Equipment needed for your camping trip.
* Time of year.

These are basic simple things to think about. Your camping equipment needs will vary depending on where you will be camping. Camping on the beach has different needs then camping in the mountains. You should always start your foray into camping small. Take a day trip somewhere close to your home. Check out the surroundings and the camp sites. Get an understanding of what the equipment needs will be.

Once you are comfortable on your day trips you can move to an overnight camping trip. This requires you to think harder about what your needs will be. You must have food, shelter, and the equipment to cook and keep your food. You need to be able to see at night and be able to start and sustain a fire. You should think about what you will do in inclement weather.
