Of coarse the decision is up to you, but if it were me, on second thought, I would be there when they open in the morning. :|
I agree with DITTER - but would emphasize the words
INSIST THEY SEE YOU RIGHT AWAY.
Go up the ladder from the receptionist to the dentist himself.
Make sure HE is aware of Your situation. That would be bad advertising for him to ignore your situation.

I'd have the tooth taken care of before going camping...even if it meant cancelling or postponing the camping until it was taken care of.
