As someone who had a miserable experience, here are some dos and don'ts.

Don't camp in the winter or any other time when it's cold.

When you expect someone to hammer tent stakes into the ground, make sure a hammer is available.

Before pitching the tent, first check the ground for sticks, tree roots, or anything else that can poke into the person sleeping in the tent.
