Been there and done that. Started with a basic set up, bought more and more then added a trailer. Worked up to a folding camper. Now the kids are grown up and we have downsized again and I am absolutely determined that we are sticking with what we have.
That said I want to be comfortable so good sleeping bags and camp beds are essential. Think about a basic cooking kit, a table of some kind, something to sit on and lights. You probably need a washing up bowl and having a coolbox saves you running to the shop all the time. A fleece blanket each is good for wrapping around you on chilly evenings, and can be used as a picnic blanket. Folding canvas storage boxes are great and take up little space in the car.
I stay away from camping shops and online camping sites now or I will buy things we really dont need!
