Always make a check list of everything you bring and label all personal items.

Save this list in a pocket or drawer and upon departing go back over list. Helps keep track of items (:

Packing cubes, packing cubes, packing cubes!
Great when packing for camp, great for staying organized at camp. Cubes make it easy to get dressed every morning, get ready for various activities like swimming and Shabbat dinners, put away laundry after it is returned.

For packing your trunk, use packing cubes! They keep things need and tidy and it's easy to find what you need in a pinch.

Make sure everything you bring is easily accessible, so you spend more time having fun than preparing, especially if you are a first year camper (so your cabin doesn't leave without you).

Under the bed storage is always key. Make sure your luggage can fit underneath, even if it needs to be open to do so. I store my suitcase under a camp bed, opened, so their are two halves and it fits
