The correct preposition after "ir" for activities is "de", not "a".
Me voy camping el mes que viene.
You need the preposition "de" to link the verb with the activity.
Me voy de camping el mes próximo.
While "el próximo mes" is also correct, mixing the two (e.g., "el mes próximo") is not idiomatic.

Cultural Tip
Camping is a popular way to enjoy Spain's diverse landscapes, from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean coast. While "ir de camping" is informal and widely used, "acampar" is a more neutral verb. Remember that many campgrounds in Spain are called "campings" and offer facilities like electricity and water, so the borrowed word fits naturally into everyday speech.
