I'm planning on going on a camping trip that'll be for a few days, I'm trying to take as little weight as possible because I'll be walking long distances but I'm worried about how much water to take. How much does /out/ take when going for long trips?

A gallon a day if it's hot. A liter or so if it's not.

I usually take with me a liter and a half of water when i'm going on long walks.
But you can pretty much carry how much water you know you can carry. You know if you are fit or not, if you know how to walk or no. Decide how much weight you can take based on your body.
I can carry 10 or more kg of material if I'm hiking, but that's just me

It's just starting to get warm here, there's going to be a few valleys and hills that I'll have to climb which is what tires me out more then anything.

2x 1L Smart Water bottles and a 2L platypus. It really depends on how frequent your water sources will be though. I've found that carrying 4L works for me in most situations.

2 litres a day. weather can be unpredictable. so dont just think it will definitly be cold. also remember to bring cooking water if you need it. (cooking water not included in 2ltrs)

I can drink a gallon or more a day easy so this is a serious concern for me, I personally plan to encounter a water source at least every other day, I carry a set of filters (a millbank bag, a collapsible bowl + chlorine tablets, & an MSR miniworks pump filter), a nalgene (1l) and a 3l camelbak.
so far this has been enough for me

Depends where you're going and what season it is. Duh.

Lowlands / riverside / etc = 1-2 litres as water sources are usually abundant

Hot dry land / high mountain / coast = 3-6 litres

Dry pack weight is 10kg so I don't mind lugging 5+ litres of water if necessary

I always bring 2L minimum per day, and then a spare litre to use for other uses so my drinking water isn't cut into.
