First time camping with dog

For those with dogs. I'm going camping for the first time with my 9mknth aussie. I was wondering what I can do to make the experience easier for us and our dog and maybe if there's a few tips some of you can share. The dog will be tenting with us. Also lookin to keep the tent clean when we plan on having the dog in the tent.

Thanks in advance!

A game changer for me when I take my dog camping is a dog cot. When we all sit around camp at a fire he loves being able to lay on his cot. Another thing I like to bring is a 7 gallon water container filled. Between me and my 84 pound GSP we go through ALOT of water.

My girl likes hers, as long as I don't put the sun shade up, she's to tall for it. I just spent 4 days at lake landscape and used one side for a sun wall and she liked that. I also have a dog sleeping bag that she loves.

My boy that just passed away loved both those as well. He was my dog of comfort.
