Saw mention of a pee bucket for the tent, but you'll probably want something for the inevitable deuces, including plenty of TP.
Dish soap and a container to wash dishes/utensils. One of those solar shower bags probably wouldn't hurt. Hand sanitizer is a good idea too.
Probably able to find enough on your own, but fire wood in the event your site has been picked over already. A camp saw is a good idea too since it's easier to saw than chop with an axe/hatchet.
If there are any kids going, unless they're like I was in my younger years and willing to fish 24/7, they'll need some things to keep them occupied too.
A small radio/cd player is an option, but the sheer silence is nice too.
Good luck and have fun! I think there are a number of rather jealous individuals, myself included.
That is a very good idea we were planning on taking 2 big coolers the one I have supposedly holds ice for 5 days we have a Coleman stove and are planning on taking a tripod for cooking over the fire we are also bringing a small very quiet Yamaha generator and battery charger to charge my trolling motor and accessory battery if that gets to low
We take 1/2 gallon juice containers and make lemonade at home. Then we freeze them and that serves as our ice. I make other things like (chilli & spagetti) ahead of time and freeze them too. Baically everything that is goes in my cooler is frozen ahead of time. Plus multiple coolers work better than one big one. I actually set one up for the first part of the trip and another one for the last part. Duct tape the second one shut to seal in the cold. If you keep the second cooler sealed up, don't open it, and set it in the shade things stay very cool.
If you don't have a coleman stove, PM me as I have one I would sell cheap.
So fun.
I have a screen tent and a 2 room tent any one know how large most of the sites are? Never thought about extra ice or the yard guard 2 things I will have to remember I have a map of the flowage a GPS with lake chip in the boat and a hand held GPS all will be taken along
