So, I have been threatening to do this for over a year now and have finally gotten the time, finances and lus for it

I have spent the last month or so watching a bunch of camping videos like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUPS6Jh8YeU , but this has done nothing but makes me want to go out more...

So I have a few questions for the more experienced guys out there.

Campsites,
Where in the western part of GP would you recommend?
I don't mind riding, so going a bit further is ok too, Should I camp further than 2 hours from home?

Gear
I have a tent, 1 man, or a 2-3man tent that I can use too if needed
Sleeping bag,
Sponge mat thing to sleep on
What else would you say is essential?

Cooking
I assume my first time is giong to be at a proper camp site with little braai stands already built, so I will probably only need
Fire and a grid to cook on
How do i transport the food? Coolerbag? Small one in the pannier?

What else should i be thinking about? Am i overthinking it?
