I would ask some friends if they have a tent and some gear you can borrow (or rent for a case of beer) before buying stuff that you may never use again.
After shelter, just take blankets and pillows with you rather than worrying about sleeping bags. Sleeping pads are ok, but an air mattress is great for car camping, and can be used if you have guests and not enough beds at home. Keep the cooking gear simple if taking any at all. You can get by with sandwiches or prepared food that can be eaten cold for a weekend if you do not know anyone with a stove. Check Goodwill type stores for gear too.
