Agree with all the above. I first went solo camping (in a tent) after splitting from 1st OH. He kept the tent, I kept the rest of the equipment; bought a cracking wee 2-person tent (why be squashed?). I put it up in the back garden first, so I didn't look like a pathetic wee wifey who couldn't put up a tent without help from a Man. Then I took myself off - not too far, first time, in case I couldn't hack it. It was bliss! I could get up and go to bed when I wanted to. I sat outside for breakfast, brewed fresh coffee & fried my bacon and hoped everyone nearby was jealous of me. I treated myself to a good steak & bottle of wine for my evening meal, read a book and enjoyed the silence. Didn't have a dog then, but have camped with one since and love that snuggly furry warmth and companionship (and added sense of security). Camping solo gave me back my self-confidence and a sense of power, and gave me something to tell folk back at work instead of moaning about the split. I didn't wild camp though, didn't fancy the lone trip into the bushes for a p--. I joined C&CC to be assured of on-site wardens and good facilities, but I never actually needed to call on the wardens. I always found neighbours willing to help, without any of them ever making a nuisance of themselves by thinking I was lonely and needed to talk; I was never chatted up - camping isn't a good place to find a date. Go for it! you won't regret it.
