Yep, we got back into Tent camping back in 2008, and have the check list down to a fine art now.
Sadly the list runs to ten sheets of A4, brocken down into sub-sections detailing what goes into our eight 42lt "Realy Useful Box's", sadly again numbered 1 through to 8.
Then further sub-sections detailing what should be in our Gelert Cargo Bags, four 100lt, and four 60lt.
3 pages alone dedicated to all the loose stuff, most of which goes in the Trailer.
The list is an ever changing feast, but amazingly we never get to camp, and find that we are missing something, so I guess a check list works for us.
I'd love to see your list of what you put in each box!

Yep Pickledhud, I gave a copy of my list to one of the blokes at work, who was thinking about starting camping, I may have put him of for life as he never bothered in the end!
To be fair though the list is not as essential as it used to be, had it for 9 years now, I will make minor changes, say when something breaks and needs to be replaced, or I spot a better bit of kit, such as going from plastic kettle to stainless kettle etc.
In fact the list is most useful when we get back, as when we break camp, stuff just get's chucked into any one of the 8 box's, as I am not always in charge of the packing up of the small stuff, Mrs Francais does that using women's logic!
So when we get back, I sort and check everything and asign it to it's correct box.
Then all the box's and cargo bags are ready for the next years trip, all the loose stuff goes in the trailer, and the tent canvas goes in the loft.
The system works well for us, as we only go camping once each year I could not be doing with all the faff, for anything less than a 3 week holiday, and the only place that I would consider camping in the UK would be inside one of the Domes at the Eden project!

Hi DDarren,
If your kids are particularly fussy about certain breakfast cereals (as one of mine is), I recommend you bring it with you. I have found that it can be difficult to find some cereals that are common here, in France, eg Weetabix. A lot of their cereals seem to contain chocolate 
From our experience, we now bring a selection of food items that we know we like, rather than waste hours in the supermarket trying to guess what is a comparable alternative.

Lol Essexmum, I agree and we do! But I have a 16 year old who doesn't like any of those yummy pastries and the only cereal she will eat is Weetabix (since she was 2 years old!!  ), so I've always had to bring it with us.
Don't know where we got her, as the rest of us eat our own body weights in yummy French baked goods when we're on hols
