I camped in an old fashioned ridge tent when i was 30 weeks pregnant with our daughter whos now in her 20s, the main bit of advice i would give is to take a good suportive chair and some cushions, its no fun suffering with backache when you get bigger and heavier and lack of supportive seating can make it so much worse.

If you have space for it an inside loo would be a good idea too, the weight of the baby pressing down onto yr bladder can mean several trips per night across the field as due date draws near! 

For those who will be camping in hot weather in the latter stages, i would advise taking some kind of fan, you can get 12v ones or mains to help you get a better nights sleep and your homones cause you to feel hot and bothered more easily, as well as being handy for a cooler in the day.Finally dont forget to take your midwifes card with you incase you need to get something checked out with a local Gp during your stay.

 My wife was 8 months gone and we were out camping so I think at 6 months gone you should be fine.
