I’m not seeing the most basic bit of advice in my brief perusal, but even so it needs repeating: find a camping buddy. That is by far the easiest way to get into camping. And honestly you shouldn’t be going out on your own as a novice anyway.
Ask the people you know, or the people THEY know. If that doesn’t work then try local camping groups near you. Lots of people are looking for others to go camping with, so you’re a commodity! Get together with them before your first trip to go over packing lists and menus, and maybe even go grocery shopping together before hand. I really didn’t recommend going out there in your own, buying everything you need, etc etc. Start with someone else, see if you’re into it, and next steps will be obvious. You were born to live out there, it comes pretty naturally no matter how many thousands of years your people have been in the city–you were out there much much longer!

Thanks.
A couple of people have mentioned getting a camping buddy, I must say I’m not enthused by the idea as I want this to be a solo endeavour, but I will toy with the idea if camping close to home doesn’t go well and I feel I need a little more support.

You can eventually start camping solo, but you’re going to have a much harder time learning how to do it if you’re alone. The idea is to go calling with people until you’re well-versed enough to go out alone.
