[quote=Anonymous]Start by car camping
daypacks & water bottles for day hikes & toiletry bags for trips to the central bathroom, towels
Large waterproof tarp to put under the tent
Easy-to-pitch large tent
mallet for the stakes, sand stakes if you are at the beach
LED lantern (2)
flashlights and roll of TP for each person
Big easy to pour water jug
inflatable mattresses & car lighter-attachment pump
OR camping pads
Sleeping bags or sheets & comforters, pillows
2 coolers one for drinks one for food that needs to stay cold
Box or crate for dry good foods, easy to cook meals like hot dogs, mac n cheese
camp stove + fuel + several old pots and pans
skewers can come in handy. 
unbreakable cups and dishes for breakfast/lunch/dinner, paper if you want
Spatula
Dishpans (one for washing, one for rinsing), dishsoap, scrubby sponge
deck of cards, books or compact portable games like Uno, cribbage, lots of snacks
I'd say start at a state park campground somewhere fun, Big Meadows in SNP, Assateague in Maryland, Cunningham Falls (there is a lake) or maybe Pohick Bay (waterpark!) also Westmoreland State Park (pool, river beach) Avoid densely packed, RV park type campgrounds for the best effect. 
Once you get used to it, you can try backpacking[/quote]
