Me, my girlfriend, and my mom just went camping this past weekend and here's some backstory:
Me and this girl were set up on a blind date by this girl's own mother and our first date was simply a movie. On said date, my mom had dropped me off and also met my girlfriend for the first time. She got a picture of us together, introduced herself, etc and after I asked her about being an exclusive couple, me and my mom set up a camping trip for the three of us, since my mom wanted to spend more time with her and she's also an EMT who's very into the great outdoors, so it seemed like the ideal situation. My girlfriend had never been camping or fishing before and I also thought it to be a good way to get her into it and try something new.
And on the camping trip itself, she didn't seem very into it. There were times when I'd be trying to set up camp or prepare fishing lines and she would just be awkwardly standing around and staring into space. She wouldn't be offering to help me or interacting with my mom or anything. And I got my hopes up about the two of us snuggling by the campfire, but she just awkwardly sat on her own little rock and just stared in the flames. I put my arm around her, but she didn't reciprocate in anyway.
The whole camping trip just gave me the vibe that she's not as into the relationship as I am. Maybe I'm just overreacting and looking too deeply into her behavior, but I'm also worried that she's only dating me because her mom set us up. What should I do?
Honestly, I read your post and I see "too much too soon."
Unless your are 14 years old or something, why is your mom jumping out and meeting a girl on THE FIRST DATE? And then taking a couple picture? Weird. Then, what seems to be your second date, you take her camping with your mother?
The whole situations seems odd and to pushy for so early in a relationship. But maybe this is the new norm these days. I see a lot of my friends overly and early involved in the relationships of their teen and young adult children. My mother didn't meet anyone until I was in it for a few months. I have two "kids" in their 20s and I don't meet any of the dates until it's fairly serious--like months into it. Not interested.

^^^This.
How old are the two of you and how long have you known each other?

It wasn't our second date. We'd been on a few dates beforehand and became exclusive just a few weeks before this trip.
Maybe she was out of her comfort zone. Maybe she was uncomfortable snuggling with you with your MOM right there.
She just sounds immature.
I don't think that she sounds as immature as he (the OP) does. Who takes their mom on dates anyway? Especially a date that isn't around other people such as camping. Sheesh!
Are you going to tell us how old you are?
You just had a crush on someone 5 weeks ago, you became exclusive with this girl “a few weeks ago”, (what, after 1 or 2 weeks?) you spend the night with her, but your mom drops you off on dates...

This. How long have you two been dating? Camping trip with a parent is a no-go for me during the early phases of dating, and I'd have been put off to camping until we really get a feel for each other in other elements. She was likely outside of her comfort zone.
