No flashlight or headlamp for use in the campground? - Cygolite Metro, there are some pretty good setting on this. The one good for walking and stuff is really pretty low.
I did have someone suggest this
wall charger that I'm thinking of seriously. The item in your pic is something similar to what I have. The one I have is a little bit bigger, but it charges alkaline batteries too.
If a tablet camera is adequate for your needs, great.
I prefer to have my GPS on my handlebar for constant use. I can't do that with a 7 inch tablet. My tablet and smartphones I have used have too dark a screen to see in sunlight, I want a dedicated GPS.
I have no idea what a Cygolite is, so if that serves your light needs, great.
If everything you have is charged by USB, that looks like a good charger.
Part of my point was that other than my tablet, everything I use has batteries that I can change to keep them operational until I get to an outlet to do more charging. That includes my lights, vintage flip phone, GPS and camera. That is a key reason that I can go over a week without charging anything.
If you use a USB to charge everything, that makes a dynohub even better. I do not know if you would be able to charge more than one device at a time or not, but if you can charge something every minute you are rolling, that is pretty useful. Unfortunately, upgrading to a dynohub is pretty costly.
One more suggestion, bring a long charging cord. I have sat in restaurants with my tablet plugged into an outlet while I am checking e-mail, forecast, etc. It was nice to have a 5 foot long cord between my tablet and the outlet.
