When I was a child we camped at the Fort a couple of times but I've never been as an adult. We have a site booked for just one night in May to try it out. We basically have nothing so need to buy it all. I have a tent picked out that I think will be nice:

There are 4 of us so I want something that we'll be comfortable in but don't want to spend any more than the price of that tent. Any thoughts on that tent? Or any other suggestions?
Also, should I get a tarp to go under it? I seem to remember my parents putting a tarp under our tent as a kid.
My list also includes:
extension cord
lanterns
flashlights
air mattress
sleeping bag
I have a reservation for Trails End breakfast so wasn't planning on doing any cooking at our site this trip.
Am I missing anything? Will it be easy to find my campsite in the dark after returning from AK?
Any other hints/tips appreciated.
