My idea of camping stretches to a Holiday Inn express - you know what the room is going to be like and you get a free breakfast! Some of them in Europe are quite plush as well.

Part of what got me into playing on boats is a comfy bed, flushing loo, beer fridge, and you can drive pissed, it's technically illegal but expected. (inland anyway, always sober at sea)
