If you go for a tent, first don't forget the tent pegs, and then it's always comfortable having a tiny mallet to plant them, rather than using a rock or your bare hands.
-
Find a -soft, dry- spot for the tent. And pound the pegs in first, then the rest of the tent goes up more easily.
Oh ... and if it's -really- cold out, put a handwarmer, or two, in the toe of the sleeping bag. (Good to well-below zero F)

Depends on the tent. Some stakes first some last. Dome tents stakes last, most everything else first
-
flat is a lot more important than soft

If the ground is super fucked and you're car camping, an impact and some long ass lags also works a treat.
-
We had a roofing hammer. Half hammer, half handaxe
-
Once I forgot a mallet and I drove them in with a frying pan. I never forgot them again.

You can also take off your shoe and use that
