Is it a proper National Park camp site? If so you may need to pay the 
ranger (normally about $10 per night). You're also not supposed to 
forage for fire wood in a National Park so you may want to take some. 
(but if there's no one about then...)

Other few other things off the top of my head:
Pillow
Make sure your sleeping bag is rated for the current overnight temp.
Fire Lighters
You might want more water, you're supposed to drink 2L a day, then more 
to cook in/with.
Somewhere to shit (or a shovel to dig a hole) and something to wipe your 
ass with. Or a big pack of immodium.

cheers,
mike
