>>377263Just came back from 5 nights camping with my gf. Pic related, it's my tent on the last night, having a roomy tent and a screened area to eat in help. We have Therma-Rest Luxury MAP sleeping pads, it's big but we car camp so the comfort is worth it. Campsite comfort is very important, if she doesn't sleep well and she's sore she won't want to hike or anything, that's no fun.
Once you have comfortable sleeping taken care of, good food is easy and important. Cook bacon crispy by the pound, store it layered in paper towels in a ziploc in your cooler. Crumble it for awesome on everything, ie: add crumbs to scrambled eggs in bowl before cooking then add shredded cheese on griddle stuff into a pita; also put crumbles and shredded cheese in hot dog roll below cooked dog, wrap in foil and put over fire for ~60 seconds. Campfire cones are great, put marshmellow, hershey's, whatever else in waffle cone (not sugar) then wrap in foil and put over fire for a few minutes to melt it all. Soup is a quick and easy one which you'll want if bad weather hits, sandwiches are also good and pack well for hikes. Pasta salad is something you can make before you leave and keep it in the cooler for a few days so you always have a side.
After food, you need to keep her entertained. You know better than me what she likes, but we mostly hike (hikes with good views, worth the effort) and in between take in more generic sights and attractions. We bring a camera, and that draws out everything which is generally fine. We both read during down time, sometimes sitting by a waterfall or on top of a mountain. Make sure you pick things you'll like too, don't have a bad time so she likes it or you'll not want her to go with you again.
