The camel puts its nose inside the tent to seek warmth in the cold desert night; but it's a folly to think the camel will stop there. Unless resisted promptly, the whole camel will soon be inside the tent displacing its human occupiers! The phrase refers to a small initial step that will almost surely be followed by a much bigger, potentially disruptive, step to come.

Did the camel come into the tent all at once?
In one of Aesop's Fables, the camel first asked if it could put its nose inside to avoid the blowing sand, then its eyes and ears, then its neck. Eventually the whole camel was in the tent and there was no room for the Arab. The moral is that difficulties DON'T arise all at once, but are the consequences of bad choices which don't seem significant taken one by one.
