I would love to go camping, or at least try it. Will have to find a friend who has some equipment though, or else we have to buy everything.
The rentals are cheaper here normally, but more importantly, they have a kitchen, so that we don't have to rely on what is around to consider allergies etc.
That is a good point about the kitchen. My wife and I are planning for a longer trip this summer (without out trailer) and we are trying to figure out how we can avoid eating out every meal. Camping can get a bit crazy with all the gear. Your best bet is finding a tent and just setting it up in the backyard for a night to see if you can even handle that part of it. If that doesn't go well the last thing you want to do is try it out in the middle of nowhere!
