This is my 1st time camping. Any good tips on what to buy and pack for a 2 day stay at browns millpond at the end of July 2018 for my family and I ? We will be sleeping at their tent site because the RV hook up will be full!

It stays pretty warm there in the summer months bring lots of water temperature was 105 there last week lots of ice since you'll be camping in tents and not an RV with electric bill need to keep your food and beverages cold campsites have pretty decent shade some have grassy areas right next to a small Creek it's pretty windy there sometimes so make sure everything is tied down before you leave to go exploring bathroom and showers are pretty nice campsites have fire pits and a barbecue or bring your own BBQ. Most important thing is to stay hydrated and have lots of fun and if you're fishing in the local lakes and creeks and rivers catch-and-release is always good practice especially with wild or native or brown trout

Fire wood is very pricey there so that's worth bringing if you want to roast marshmallows or cook that way. If you're bringing propane/ charcoal no worries. If you fish you can get replacements for most common items at Kmart in Bishop for not too much. But your choices in town are limited Kmart is about it for general merchandise and hours are limited compared to larger cities. Showers are $2 tokens for 7 minutes. There's an unlimited broken one in the men's, have to see who has the tip on which one that might be. The ladies are all on the 7 minute mark.
