Camping is a holiday spent sleeping outdoors in a cloth shelter. Go camping, a camping trip, camping gear.
The cold comes from the ground rather than the air, which is why the mat under you matters more than the sleeping bag over you. In Scotland wild camping is a legal right under access legislation, which is unusual in Europe.
