What I say on climbing
A tent or other shelter is the main thing that you will need for camping. A tent or other shelter will help protect you against the elements. You never know if weather conditions will be favorable or very stormy in the camping world, and there is quite a range! The inside of a tent can shield you from the sun in very hot weather. For further protection, having a sturdy rain fly covering the roof of your tent can keep you dry. It is also a good idea to spread a tarp beneath the tent to keep water from seeping in.
