I am really interested in getting into camping and hiking. I’m very athletic so I enjoy the challange and hiking. I just dont know what size backpack I would need for my gear for like a 3 day camping trip. And also, if I wanted to just hike on local trails are daypacks good? What are they for really?

Check out the major company websites for outdoor recreation, such as Cabelas, Bass Pro Shop, or Coleman. My favorite for any outdoor gear is Cabela. They have a wide variety of equipment for about anything.

For a good backpack to handle a 3 day trip it is going to be bigger then a day pack you would use on a simple all day hike 7000ci vs 1500ci. and then there is internal frames vs external frames. All personal choices. REI has a rental program where you can try before you buy and they will assist you in fitting for just the right size pack for your needs.
local hikes are the best place to start you want to be familiar as much as possible with where you go so you can be as prepared as possible in my area this is a good link for hikes
