Keep game development simple. Do what occurs natually. Move the player around your world, not the world around your player. What happens if you want to add enemies attacking your player? Then are you going to have two seperate character controllers? That would just be silly.

Move your player through the world, and keep the camera following your player, keep the world stationary.
