Ok, a cooler isn’t exactly a new development, but it is essential for any good camping trip. Use them to store water, food, snacks, and beer. Find a lightweight one if you plan on hiking while you are away, or a large one if you want to stay up drinking around the campfire. Make sure you read reviews, research your options and get one that suits your needs.
A Stove
Another slightly less than modern invention, the camping stove. Yes, you may still want to toast marshmallows over the fire but using a campfire to cook anything else is time-consuming and dangerous.

Lightweight, portable and easy to blow up an inflatable sofa give you the chance to cuddle up in front of the campfire in comfort and style.

Especially if you are in a group. Waterproof and shockproof Bluetooth speakers are very hard to damage and so perfect for a camping trip.
A Solar Shower
If you’re heading a large resort or campsite, then there will probably be a pretty good shower block for you to use. If not, a solar shower and a privacy screen can be the answer. You can pick a shower up cheaply, and it’ll be much more effective than giving yourself a baby wipe bath each morning.
