I used to love camping as a kid but by the time I was 30 I was finished with camping for a holiday. The reason is my job, as a Diamond driller I\ve been to some really remote places, float plane and chopper access only and we always stayed in tents in all seasons, there's nothing like sleeping in a tent (insulated 14' x 16') at 40* below, so cold the fuel for the stove gels and the stove goes out, the guy with the crappiest sleeping bag always fixes the stove cause he's freezing. I have the best bag money can buy. For the last 5 years, 7-8 months a year I've been sleeping under a tarp inside a bug net in the jungle. This kinda job takes the wind outta your sails when it comes to holiday camping.
