Try to get it close to full charge before you go. It's probably a bad battery or a bad charger.
Please don't use words like "nothing". Use "will not turn over" "not even clicking" "starter turns but won't start"......that type of specific verbage is useful.
The headlight test is always a great test to do in your case. Can be corroded or loose cables, all as Martin and Bill say.
Overnight charge and still 75% seems a red flag against the battery. But measuring it's voltage and a load test is best. If it shows 6.4V it can still have a bad cell and break down under the starters mega amp load.
