To a certain extent, it depends on WHERE you camp. Someone who spends their time in the AZ desert can get by with less panel than someone who spends their time in the rainy, cloudy Pacific Northwest. Likewise, if you do all of your camping in heavy timber, you’ll need more panel than someone who camps on open grasslands.
The higher you keep your battery(s) state-of-charge, the more cycles you’ll get from it and the longer it will last.

I don't like to make plans. They cause the word "PREMEDITATED" to get used in court!
