Will I miss anything if I don't go camping?
There are plenty of camp sites around the FFXV world, but I am skipping most of them because I don't find that they are as needed as the game makes them out to be.
I usually try to not camp because of the 0% increase to EXP and I really only use them when I will need a fast travel back to my last camp site.
I did have a morning breakfast with Ignis after a campout, so I'm assuming there are other brotherly activities that may occur if I camp more.
Q: How important is it to camp at every location? Is there an indication of when I should be camping or what camp sites are important to use?
Best Answer
Camping does do something besides giving you a zero percent EXP increase. You can improve skills, tally up the accumulated EXP you earned from the day, as well as give you and your allies a stat boost courtesy of Chef Ignis' cooking.
This website: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Camp, says the following about camping at a campsite:
At camp, Ignis can cook many foods. Every dish he makes will offer a variety of effects.
Although you don't get much experience boost from camping, the big benefit to it is improving Ignis' cooking skill, which improves with every dish he makes.
Some more information about camping for you on the link above:
Noctis can also train at campsites by battling his allies.
Not only can you camp there, but you can fight with your allies, which is a big bonus.
They use accumulated EXP to level up.
That is another good reason for camping out with your allies. Assuming you are far away from a hotel or something like that. Camping out, like sleeping in a hotel, will restore your party's HP, this was said in the above link.
