So you mean that shit camping is shit?
Sleeping on a camp bed in a tent on a dry summer night is no different to sleeping in a bed in a hotel.
Granted shared toilets aren't the best thing but some are regularly cleaned so it's not much different to going at work.
Not showering for a day or two can make you feel dirty -- but if you've never stayed over a a mate's after going out and not showered until the next evening you're probably in a minority.
Camping is what you make it and where and when you go. If you only go to cheap camp sites in November in the UK it will be cold, miserable and damp. If you camped in the Sahara it would be completely different.
It sounds like your friends are ill-prepared, go to shit camp sites and are rather dull.
