A lot depends on when and where you're planning on camping. I'd suggest a table/cooker stand.

That and the rest!

Good news is a lot can be brought from home like pans and torches. Other things can be bought at places like B&M Bargains (plates, stoves etc etc).

Don't skimp on the beds, that's my main bit of advice. A sleeping bag can be supplimented with a duvet - grab the one from your own bed or I keep a 4.5tog duvet with cover on just for camping.

The 'two box' principle is a good place to start, grab two sturdy lidded plastic boxes and use one as a kitchen box and the other for everything else.

Here's a place to start
