Some people use playpens for outside time and they work very well. They are ventilated so they don't get too hot, but they also allow sunlight in. How long do you plan on camping? I would think about leaving him behind in his normal enclosure if you aren't going to be camping for very long. If you're in an RV or something similar, a travel tank with lighting may work for you though.
I would like to take him with me on short trips maybe 3 or 4 days at the most. He will only come with me if he is healthy, and does well on small test trips, and if the weather permits.
I think I will use the play pin. should I use one with or with out a bottom, and do I need anything more in it other than a basking spot and a place with shade? What could I use as a basking spot that will not get to hot in the sun?

I would probably use one with a bottom to help keep out unwanted bugs. Lightning bugs are especially problematic. You could use a half log or a bunch of driftwood to build climbing areas and hides for him. The wood shouldn't get too hot even in the sun.
It depends on the bottom really. If there is enough texture for him to move around, then it should be OK. If he slips on it or can't get traction, you may want to put down something with a bit of texture to it. Maybe some shelf liner or something like that.
