As an avid camper, I LOVE hearing all the camping stories.
That said, just throwing it out there that there is a company in NYC which rents camping gear - including tents -

There are also sites like Tenttr and Hipcamp where you can rent private land for sites. Tenttr includes a nice structural tent and also some come with extra 5 person dome tents.
