I think it's more a case that they can't be arsed with all that camping stuff... I go camping regularly, but I've not done it on the bike before.
Columbus......
Bonnethill Rd, Pitlochry...
From 2006 to 2010 we used to have the main start for Applecross outside our place there..... Two years with Police BMWs as out-riders.
Arriving at The Green Welly, both police riders thanked me profusely....."the FIRST time we have EVER ridden non-stop to Tyndrum.....any time you need us again.....?"

American tent company - Redverz, makes a tent in which you can park your bike - under cover. Great idea - IF you are staying in one place fir a few days but it looks damn bulky!
One of the "Old Guard" who used to ride with us every year bought a Hilleberg tent for riding, lightweight and perfect but....OMG - around £400.00....

I've actually got a tent that I intent to camp with. It's a small tunnel tent with a side porch that has extra short poles so it goes on the bike without hassles. Something like 3kg. It's not a dedicated bike tent (and it's only just about big enough to sit up in) but it was 75% off at £40 and I couldn't resist. Realistically only good enough for dry weather as it'd be a bitch to get your boots on and off in the tent...
Well, if you are still thinking about camping, the Lochcarron campsite might be open but even if not, the lady doesn't mind if you pitch there.
As for Applecross, they have the upside-down-boat style camping cabins which negate the need to pitch tents but folk do "wild-camp" along the shore and near the beach. Camp fires nearby in fire-pits. Kinda fun in that location and there are trees around where tents are erected so if you carried a tarp and tent-pegs......?
Making me want to do the same!
