Tips for camping on my honeymoon?

Hi! Originally my fiancee and I were going to get a hotel room on a beach that’s about an hour and a half away from where we’ll be living for our honeymoon (next march) but my hubby-to-be can’t swim and is terrified of the ocean and I don’t reallly LOVE it either. So after much thought and consideration I decided I’d like to go camping. I brought the idea up to my fiancee and he LOVED the idea. We both agree that being in the wilderness, just one tent, one sleeping bag, the stars and I will be so nice and romantic. Here’s the issue: neither of us has been camping. When I was a kid I used to sleep in a tent in my dad’s backyard but that’s the extent of my wilderness expereince… and his is when he was kicked out for two days as a teenager and slept in the park… so basically we have NONE. What tips can anyone give us? What type of tent and sleeping bag should we get? What should we bring along? We’ll be living in South Texas (McAllen) so where should we GO camping… like a specific camping ground or just where ever the trails take us? ANY help (especially tips that’ll save us money!!) are VERY much appreciated.

I will be picking a best answer so if you put time into your answer don’t worry, I’ll take note of it
