Hi Nick,
Welcome to the forums.
I agree with Alex in that you are probably best served by taking the intended user to a Telescope shop and discuss options and have a look. Since you suggested a desire for something portable for camping then perhaps a 4" refractor would be a more compact/robust option than a 6" newtonian/dobsonian. Then it depends on whether or not you want a GOTO/tracking function and whether or not the webcam option is aimed at atrophotography or just being able to setup the scope and view remotely.

cheers

Damien
