Outdoors. I’m not familiar with camping at all. But anything that can support just below freezing would be great. Edit: I’m in Florida but the temperatures are going below freezing soon.
For below freezing in Florida, I expect you can get away with a three season tent (you likely don’t need to worry about snow load). Look for something that has less mesh/venting. The tent won’t hold heat at all, but less venting prevents breezes through the tent. Get the warmest sleeping bag you can. Note than temperature ratings are guidelines not absolutes (though some makers are more accurate than others).

Yeah a tent that can prevent a breeze is definitely my go to. I think I can find those easily then. And for the sleeping bag, okay. I was a Dick’s sporting goods & I really seen the ones with temps rating 50-58 degrees Fahrenheit. I wasn’t exactly sure if that was literal or not.
@Skylar
Sleeping bags are sometimes “comfort” rated, and sometimes “survival” rated. It’s important to know which you’re getting. Being comfortable at below freezing temperatures is much better than just not dying. Wearing a watch cap or similar when you sleep makes a huge difference on how warm you will be (you lose a lot of heat through your head). For outside, layers and moisture management are key - wear enough to keep warm, not enough to make you sweat. Sweat makes you wet, wet makes you cold. Add or remove layers as required.
Unless it is clearly stated always assume a sleeping bag rating is “survival” and not comfort. You won’t be comfortable or really sleeping at the survival temps unless you are an exceptionally hot sleeper. The ratings assume you are wearing at least a thermal base layer and socks. As with moving about sweat wicking layers are better to sleep in too.
