If I go camping, what is a safe amount of water to bring per person per day?

What type of camping? Water consumption in the desert is different than water consumption in a tent in the woods.

Oh. In the desert. Joshua Tree Park.

You’re camping in Joshua Tree National Park? The website describes that the park has a typical daytime high of over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit, but is usually 10 to 20 degrees cooler at night. It says you can expect one shower a day, and that no water is available at the campsite. It seems to me that since you won’t be hiking during the day, you can safely use a gallon of water a day per person.

In the Joshua Tree desert, you’ll need 2.6 liters (0.6 gallons) of water per person per day, though this estimate can vary greatly depending on activity level.
