I'm going camping on my period, what should I bring? And how to prevent zits and oily face while camping?

I have taken many trips to the Boundary Waters and have had my period a few times, not fun. Wipes are a definite plus. I get the adult kind so I don't smell like a baby. If I'm doing long distance where you have to "pack in pack out" then I just take a wash cloth or pack towel and rinse in the water. I use a zip loc also to store my used tampons as you plan, but then burn them in the fire in the evening so they do not attract bears or other critters. Don't want to have to carry them for 7-10 days :{. If you are only gong for the weekend it should not be too much of an issue for you though. For your face, I guess I would just take something like Stridex pads to clean and take care of the oil. Good luck and have fun.

As for the waste products from your period, and packing them out, you might want to consider switching from disposable tampons to something like the Diva Cup. Wash it, cleanse it and no trash to worrry about. Pick up some Pond's or other brand facial wipes. I usually pack 1 to 2 of them per day and put them in a ziplock. They're great for removing the oil and grime first thing in the morning, and again before bed time. Some astringent pads to use after the wipes, and you'll be fine. Oh, and since you're camping; leave the makeup at home. That'll help keep the breakouts down for sure!
