Correct.
Opening a line of communications is going to be the hardest part here. If NEITHER sides are willing to listen and talk out the problems there will be no resolution.
Be prepared to GIVE ALL you have, HONOR her, even if it means totally giving up on the camping. Camping takes money, time and energy and she might even be jealous of that (hence the shopping thing).

The problem is though is we simply can not give advice which is foolproof to resolve the issue. It is for that reason you may need a good counselor to help out.
