I have to agree with kingcrazylegs. If you plan on camping, bring your own tent. If you are going to bring a tent, bring a nice one. I cannot tell you how bad it is when you wake up with water dripping on your head because your tent is not waterproof.
For a good tent, I would personally recommend Kelty. The Trail Dome 2 is a 6 lbs. two-person tent that is so simple to set-up. It will take a good chuck of your bag (folded up it is about 2 foot long and about 6-7 inch in diameter), but it will not take a chunk of your money. I think you can pick them up on Ebay for about $75-85 brand new.
Hope that helps!
