I used to keep my chain lube in my tools and spares bag that resided in the bottom of a pannier. I never thought of lubing my chain when in the campground so it never got used.

For the past three or four years I have kept my chain lube in my handlebar bag where it is easy to get to. When my drive train starts to get noisy, I stop and apply chain lube. I do not use it often, but having it where it is easy to get to makes it much more likely that it gets used when I need it.
