Advice for a first time Camper

[suzzer99]

Sounds mosquito-ey. Bring bug spray and those burning coil things.

Starbucks doubleshots are great for camping.

Try to put beer in a separate cooler with normal ice and get a solid block of ice for your food cooler. Cooler water is the bane of my existence. Nothing worse than a package of ham full of nasty water.

Bring lots of blankets - they add extra padding and are nice when it gets cold around the fire at night.

Trash bags, paper towels and TP are a must.

The more flashlights and headlamps the better. Make sure you have enough batteries.

That's about it. Car camping is pretty easy.
