The Camp is a special feature of Baldur's Gate 3 (BG 3). When your characters use their spells slots, they need to rest at camp to refresh them. You can also interact with your companions at the camp, discussing the Quests, or advancing Romances.
Long & Short Rest
In order to take a Long Rest you'll have to gather Camp Supplies. Once you selected the "Go to Camp and end the day" button, located at the upper right-side of the screen, a message will ask you if you want to go to camp. You will also receive notice if you have or don't have enough Camp Supplies to restore all Hit Points and Spell Slots.
You can set up Camp anywhere now, as long as you are outside of combat and there is no visible threat to you. At Camp, you can proceed to interact with your Companions before clicking on the bedroll to go to sleep. A new menu will be displayed, in which you will be able to select either a Short Rest or a Long Rest. In order to perform a Long Rest you need to have 40 Camp Supplies.
A Partial Rest restores your Hit Points and Spell Lots to a certain degree, not fully, but doesn't spend Camp Supplies. On the other hand, a Long Rest, restores you fully, but consumes Camp Supplies.
Resting at camp will advance the in-game timer, causing certain time-sensitive quests to fail. (Some events will only be triggered after some rest, including Astarion suck your blood, Dreamlover scenes, etc.)
Possible bug: if you wake up at the camp during daytime, use fast travel or press the camp button again to leave.

AnonymousI go to the camp and change the group. When I wake up I never return to the spot I was when I pressed the camp button.
If I don't change the group I wake up where I pressed the camp button.

I didn't even know about that you could press the camp button again. I just quick traveled outta there (M key to open the map, then select from the right). Also handy if you somehow get glitched or stuck somewhere.

There isn't a single place on the internet that tells you how many supplies you need for a long rest.
