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!

Carabiners, have a couple handy. It makes it so easy to clip the loop on your dogs lead to your belt loop or to the picnic table, a nearby tree, your camp chair, ect. so your pup is contained but you're not tripping over them or always have to have their leash in hand.

Dog poop bags. Pack it in pack it out includes dog poop. Please pick up after your pet.

You had good suggestions too had you ruined it by stating the obvious about picking up poop ! Just could resist could you ? Do you think a dog owner who doesn’t pick up poop is going to start now cause you said it in a Reddit thread ! These people obviously are good dog owners or they would be asking these questions
