As people have been camping for centuries, even for millennia, and as GPS is a very recent invention, the answer is No, one definitely can go camping without gps.

Ok, I hear where the above poster is coming from, but think about it this way. What if I ask you a question like "Do I need a wireless phone". I could post an answer like "People didn't have wireless phones for thousands of years. No, you don't need one"

No, you don't need a GPS, but it sure makes things a lot easier. If you have the extra cash to spend, go ahead and knock yourself out...buy one.
