Sports Basement staff have raced Wildflower for decades which also means that we have camped at WF for decades; we know a lot about making sure your WF experience is comfortable!
This packing list was corroborated by several SB staff.  You can rent most of the items below at Sports Basement either picking up your gear at one of our 11 Bay Area stores or 2 So Cal stores.  You can also let us deliver camping gear either a la carte items or full camping packets to you at Lake San Antonio Sports Basement Camping Rentals.
– Tent! If you can err on a little bit bigger than your sleeping bag, so that you can keep your clothing duffel comfortably inside the tent.
– Sleeping pad or air mattress: Protects you from uneven surfaces, and provides some warmth.
– Sleeping bag: Unless you run cold, you do not need a super warm sleeping bag.  A 2 or 3-season bag is your best bet.
– Chair! Yes, you want one. Yes, you want it to be comfortable.  A lot of the WF camping experience is hanging out at camp with your racing buddies and friends.
– Headlamp: Walking to the bathroom at night, up before dawn on race day, reading in bed — a headlamp is essential for hands-free efficiency.
– Lantern: A great tool for lighting up your campsite for evening hangouts, late-night gear checks, or early morning race prep.
– Cooler. A good cooler will keep you perishable throughout the weekend.
– Flip flops or Crocs. These will be your camp slippers. You need them to shuffle to the restroom and move around camp.
– Beanie.  It can be chilly in the evenings, and early mornings.
– Insulated jacket:  Yes, race day might be blazing hot; yet, somehow the evenings can be brisk. Bring a warm jacket.
– Tri Bag. Pack your Tri Bag with your race day essentials before you arrive at San Antonio.  This way your essential “gear” is already in one place.
– Need more room in your car:  Sports Basement also rents bike racks and Thule boxes. Travel Rentals
– Couch. Okay, maybe only if you are Sports Basement do you bring a couch with you ; )
– Pink Dress. Maybe if you are 4.
