How this works
- Your list stays on this deviceuntil you share it. There’s no account and no server copy.
- The link carries the whole list. It sits after the # in the link, and browsers never send that part to a server. Only the first names people type go in it.
- Send it, get it back.Each person opens the link, taps “I’ll bring it” on their items, and sends you their updated link. Open it (or use Merge a link) and Camp Share adds their claims to yours.
- When two copies disagree (a changed quantity, a removed item), you choose which to keep. Nothing merges silently, and you can undo a merge.
- Merging keeps every claim from both links. If someone dropped an item in their copy, their name comes back after a merge. Just remove it again.
- Changes aren't live — share the updated link.
- The printout’s QR code opens this page, not your list.

About this tool
This car camping group checklist covers the gear one person brings for everyone at a drive-in campsite: the tent and tarp, the camp kitchen, the cooler, water, the first aid kit, lights, and the chairs and table that make camp comfortable.
Start the list, change anything you like, then send the link to your group by text or email. Each person taps “I'll bring it” on what they'll pack and sends their updated link back, so you can see at a glance what's covered and what still needs someone.
Personal gear like sleeping bags and clothes stays off the list. It's only for the things you share. There's no account and no app: the list travels inside the link and is saved on your own device.
