I hope this is the right place to post this. I am going kayak camping at a local campground. This will be my first time. Any suggestions?

pack as light as you can and put EVERTHING in dry bags. are you planning on doing any portaging?

perfect! that's the easy way. i used to do that for fishing trips and hop between island and shore. you should be fine .

Idk if you posted anywhere else, but how’d the trip go? I always bring my kayak with me on my trips. I haven’t camped out of kayak yet, but I’d love to this summer!

We also often have our canoe with us when we travel. A great thing. By the way, we have an interesting post here on the OB Forum about PADDLER'S SAFETY & COLD WATER SURVIVAL. I think that is interesting and important for one or the other. Thanks to @Road for bringing this topic up here!
pack low and in (as mentioned above) waterproof stuff sacks. I pack light and keep everything as low to the waterline as I can. If that wood is your fire wood I would leave it behind. I guess you could spread it out on your boat but if you stack it and strap it down maybe it'll make your boat top heavy. just an idea
