Are you going to be camping more than this time, or just this once? If more,
then it will be well worth it to invest some money in some decent camping gear, especially focused around sleep. A cot, good pad, and nicer bag/quilt will make a huge difference in your enjoyment.

I just replaced a bunch of my camping gear because much of it was a couple decades old. My favorite thing is my new sleeping pad, it literally feels like sleeping on a nice memory foam mattress, but it wasn't cheap. It's on sale here right now, well worth it imo. I also got a new sleep system by zenbivy, and I really like it. Once again, not cheap, but I think it will be well worth it. I much prefer it to a traditional sleeping bag because I can side sleep and kick my leg out, have my arms up by my head, etc.



Also, I love setting up hammocks for relaxing. I don't really like sleeping in them for the night, but just relaxing while reading a book or taking a quick nap or something is awesome. The cheap ones at costco are just fine and come with straps.

Food is a big one too. Make it good and fun.
