Does anyone actually enjoy this?

I am away on the once a year dads and daughters trip and whilst I enjoy the daytime and seeing her and her friends enjoy themselves, the actual tent bit is hideous. I actually feel like I’m in a coffin! So dark and claustrophobic and some drunk woman dancing around somewhere in the distance singing “Its coming home” for the hundredth time in the last 2 hours. I never sleep on these trips so watching the clock and listening to snoring in the tents next door! Grim!

Always get a tent thats 'too big' - 4 people / 6 man tent, 2 people / 4man etc. Go for basic / wild camping, or else you are going to basically get a sort of semi-waterproof Butlins / 18-30 experience surrounded by pissed dickheads.

Get yourself lost and then camp. I once had an elk or some other critter put it’s foot on my back whilst I was in the tent, there was a whole herd feeding around me. Another time my brother and sis in law were visiting from Oz, I took them out camping in the woods, about 3 in the morning we were woken up by a pack of coyotes that must have been about ten feet from the tents, the noise was incredible

Not really feasible in the UK, unless in Scotland where wild camping is legal.
