[General] A and An with Non-Countable Nouns ending in -ing

[tagranados]

I recently read that a lot of non-countable nouns end in -ing. For instance, camping.

I then read that it is improper to use the determiners A and An with non-countable nouns.

Q. Is "I'm going on a camping trip" an incorrect sentence?

Welcome to the forum.

"I'm going on a camping trip" is fine. It means "I'm going on a trip on which we will be camping".
"I'm going on a camping" would be incorrect.

The indefinite article is there because of the noun "trip", not because of the adjective "camping".
