Mine loves camping, however, I am glad his first trip was with me and my late partner (his dad) and not just on my own. We took his small collapsible metal crate for him to sleep in at night in the living area of the tent. However, it was soon evident to us that he could be trusted to sleep next to us without the crate.
After his death I decided to continue camping on my own and took him with me.
The tent I was using did not have a SIG, and he would try and dig himself out to see what was going on outside, very nosey and typical of a Border Terrier.
So I would zip him up inside the inner tent while I go to the shower block. He did not try and claw his way out, quite unusual for a BT as he does not appear to like to dig much.
He was and still is, tethered when outside the tent. However, he can roam freely inside the tent.
I lost him once on a camp site as he bolted out of the door to chase rabbits before I had time to hook him to his lead for his last wee for the night, and spent a good 15min or so looking for him without success, as it was dark and I was not able to shout for him.
So I headed back to the tent with a heavy heart, in the hope he would find somewhere warm to sleep for the night.
To my delight and annoyance, I found him waiting outside the tent for me, with an expression as if to say, "Well mum, what took you so long?"
I was so pleased to see him all was forgiven! 
Nowadays, I make sure he is hooked up to the lead before I open the tent door.
He loves sharing my cooked breakfast and other food, especially BBQs, when he goes camping with me.
