Tents can be rented. Since you may never go camping again, you might want to look into that. (We rented a tent ca 40 yrs ago).

What to take and share? Since I no longer cook, when asked to contribute, my first choice is grapes. Everybody likes grapes and they are usually well received. Other fruit, cookies, baked beans are also universally welcomed.

Now we'll let the real campers give you answers.

Hope you have a good time.
