nos in this sentence
what does the nos mean here? (and the sentence as well):
nos vamos de campamento
vamos is an intransitive verb, so it can't be a pronominal verb, and if it was used for future there should be a after the vamos , shouldn't it?
Thank you

As far as English speakers are concerned there is just a slight difference between "ir" and "irse."
As has been stated, the forms of "ir" are translated as some form of "go" or going.
María va a la tienda. María goes (or "is going") to the store.
"irse" has more the meaning of "to leave," or "go away" synonymous with "salir." Note the difference in the two following sentences.
"Voy" = I go or I'm going.
Me voy = I am leaving. Me voy para Guadalajara mañana. I'm leaving for Guadalajara tomorrow.
You've heard of "vamos" vs. "vámonos". "Vamos" means "we go", "we're going" or "let's go."
"Vámonos" means anything from "let's leave," "let's get outta here" or as the American slang version goes, "Let's split."
Hi sagi, we are talking about "irse" here.
Me voy, te vas...nos vamos.
Irse is a pronominal intransitive verb.
Ir a hacer algo...means to go and do something, or go somewhere. . It only has the "a" when it is used that way.
So you could actually say:
Nos vamos a un campamento.
However, it is more colloquial to use:
Nos vamos de campamiento.
In medieval Spanish can refers to the first singular person.(yo) It is called Majestic plural it was used by rollalty and popes. Yo (me and what I represent) But in this case as the verb is conjugated as the first plural person and the nos has a the equivalent meaning of nosotros but with the nuance of ( ME and the people who comes with me) . It is rarely used in the modern Spanish.
Sorry Heidita has provided you the correct answer. I was on the moon and read nos, vamos.... which is an archaic way. Sorry again
