Default How does one get into camping?

I wasn't a scouter. My folks never took us camping as kids. I think I went to 2 Father and Son campouts. (Never with my own dad though, he didn't want to go)

I have taken my girls (16 and 10) out 1 time on a campout. Oldest thought it was okay, youngest thought it was the coolest thing.

I am fat, not going to deny that, and I think that is part of why I don't like it. Camping just isn't comfortable to me.

But my youngest really wants to do a bunch of camping this summer fall. I fly fish and she has started doing some of it with me and would like to make some trips out of it.

What would you do to start? I have the tent, sleeping bags, air matresses, stoves and lanterns. I even own a dutch oven just don't know how to use it.

Advice?
