And as for decorating your camp, I am totally against it. This is not some home you're planning on staying at forever. Why would you decorate it? You're not even planning on staying in this area long. From the very beginning of the story, you are pretty much wanting to get out of the region as fast as you can to find a healer and complete companion quests like get Shadowheart to Baldur's Gate and Lae'zel to her people. You would be VERY nomadic and VERY light when it comes to your camp. Travel light would be a HUGE thing for you and your companions; especially in a hostile area.
I think of Maximuus' idea of camp invaders random events even as I'm saying this. The bigger you make your camp, and the more stuff you keep at it, the more likely it should be that you draw unwanted attention like thieves and goblins and animals who want to raid your stores. The more food you keep, the more likely a bear should wander into your camp. So why would you want to decorate it and make it even MORE of a target to enemies?
I usually decorate with at least stuffed animals for the pets and a teapot, which any camp would need.😜
As for a bear wandering into camp…
