There are many weekends that we have already commited to plans and only have part of the weekend available. Would you camp for just one night? I have several times but continue to agrue with DW because she thinks it's to much trouble for such a short time.
She thinks it's nuts, by the time we get it all packed and tow vehicle connected, get to the campground, get opened up and set up, make that store run for the ice or other things we forggot, cook and eat dinner and its for bed, get up the next morning, shower, breakfast and start packing up, that just sounds insane to her. That sounds like exactly why I camp... it's fun.
I suppose it will finally boil down to what it is I'm heading out to do just for one night. Have done so for "visiting" purposes ... I do not sleep well in an unfamiliar bed and much better in the Starcraft bunk ... I like to be around my "stuff".
Now, having said all that, there have been times when we went fishing down to the river (not far from here) for just a one nighter have taken the dome tent.
When doing a 1 nighter you have to also stretch it out.
Usually for a 2 nighter I am getting to the campground at 6pm or later and then Sunday morning we wake up and start packing. When doing a 1 nighter you can't show up Sat night at 6 and start packing in the morning. That wouldn't be worth it for me.
DW and I did a 1 nighter 2 years ago. We got to the campground at 3pm and then stayed until 2pm on Sunday.

I think I could handle one nighters if it were just me. I wouldn't need to drag all the "stuff" out and could be set up in about 30 min, and about the same for tear down. Or if we were on our way somewhere distant and had to camp a night to get there. But unfortunately we haven't done any extended trips yet. We are debating doing either a trip out to the coast or heading out west. Not sure which way yet, but either direction they both will probably include at least one night somewhere.
