Answer
My top 10 list of basics for car camping:
1. Rain gear: coated nylon poncho or waterproof/breathable jacket and pants.
2. Tent, plastic ground sheet, stakes, mallet
3. Mummy bag (rated to minimum temp expected)
4. Foam sleeping pad(s) or insulated inflatable pad (Thermarest)
5. Camp stove, lighter, utensils, knife, cups, plates, can opener, paper towels, etc.
6. Cooler, full of ice and perishable food, drinks
7. Bug spray, with DEET

8. Sunscreen, hat
9. First Aid Kit
10. Flashlight, spare batteries, gas lantern, gas

Just remember, for first timers it's better to borrow or rent equipment than buy brand new if at all possible, because it'll be a learning experience, and you may either not like it at all, or discover how little you really need to be comfortable, or decide you want a lot more comfort, or decide to try backpacking in the wilderness.

where is a website where I can buy backpacks for college student use?

I want to lessen my load as much as I can. It could be just 2 pocketed. I had a blue eastport backpack like that. It was very simple simple in terms of pockets.

Currently, I use a very durable, but slightly heavy, and many pocketed backpack of the brand called trans.

I am tired of carrying so much weight. I am a full-time student and it adds on to my stress.
