I am bringing a twin air mattress and wondering if I need to bring my Coleman pump (of course that would require a power source, too). I would guess with air for bike tires it may not be necessary, but also wondering how far I will be dragging an aired up mattress from pump to tent, or power outlet to tent? Pretty sure I will be at the end of the crowd rolling in late and camping on the fringes.

Welcome to OKFW! Bring a battery powered pump. The ones with 4 D cells work just fine. You can probably find a power outlet around camp for the pumb you already have, but then you'd have to carry your mattress a ways. Just don't use your pump during quiet hours - they can wake up the dead!

Air mattress Empty Reverse batteries before packing.

An additional comment related to ANY battery powered items you pack. Before packing away in your bag for the day, reverse or remove one of the batteries to prevent the pump/flashlight/fan/etc from getting started during loading, transit, or unloading and running the batteries down.

And you shouldn't worry about packing extra batteries if they're a common size, as there will be plenty of places to replenish in the communities we pass through and stay in.
