many of the same things including firewood, but I'll add a few more. A pair of small "walkie talkies". Nice to use when you don't have cell service. When I'm backing and no cell service we use the walkie talkies and carry them around the campground for communications as well. Also we often travel with others, and since we often have spotty cell service, one in each vehicle for communications, especially the DW "we need to find a Lunch or rest stop".
We also have a small portable ice maker so we don't need to run to town etc. for ice. Use it when we have hookups.
And I carry our own firepit, a steel washing machine drum. No more smoky fires, lots of heat, and uses less wood than most campground firepits.
If the campground has a firepit, we usually put it on top of the firepit grate. Need to start carrying a few extra ones for sale, once folks see how it works, they are sold.
Built a real "bumper" and storage rack on the back of the trailer, and that's where the ice chest goes. All the drinks go in the ice chest, keeps them cold and more room in the fridge for food.
