I may face this situation this weekend, and want to ensure I am prepared. Thank you.
Yes, if you let the alternator charge for probably a half an hour or more, with jumper cables.
As to the unasked question... These are not like flashlight batteries, you don't run them lower than 50 to 60% state of charge remaining. Lower than that shortens their life dramatically. Recharge them daily.
Will it probably destroy the battery running it all the way down from 3 days of camping? Yes, it will most likely do so. It will dramatically shorten the life of the battery, if not altogether kill it.
