Did a camping trip recently amd been doing multi day trips for a while now and learned quite a few things along the way. Would love to answer your question meaningfully without suggesting irrelevant ideas, so can you please help understand - What you normally carry on overnight motorcycle trips, what is covered under basic camping gear, number of people on this trip, are all of them going to be on motorcycles, current storage situation on your motorcycle(show off your ride with a pic 😀), type of camping site and when you plan to leave and return?

Practice packing and unpacking while at home. Make sure you always pack thing in the same place and get good at it. Better to practice in the comfort of your living room than on a rainy morning in a mountain.
When I was 19 I set out for a week long ride and only brought a hammock and a water bottle. It rained the second night, and I got soaked. Bought a tarp the next day and it didn't rain again.
These days, people bring so much stuff with them to be prepared, which is a great idea. But you probably won't need half of it. If you can handle being uncomfortable for a one-night trial run it will teach you what you need vs reading about it.
