We used to go camping all the time when I was younger. I loved it. As I grew older it slowed a bit, but I've gone with friends a couple of times, most notably we went camping for a friend's birthday a while ago and oh my god was it fun. It was the first time I properly went with just friends and we were over the legal drinking age, needless to say it was insanely awesome. I ended up in a freezing cold lake... in my underpants... quite inebriated.

The camping we did when I was younger was fun for different reasons, my Step Dad at the time was a massive Australian nature buff, so I learned a lot about native wildlife and weird foods that could be found out in the bush and just general Australian survival stuff. Unfortunately I've forgotten most of that now
