    I am not a camper but I have two of these foam pads that I have
been using for a few years now.  We basically use them when someone
sleeps over. I have never used them outdoors yet, they are also about
6 years old and are of 1/4 foam with heavy plastic covering. The
two that I have are really called exercise pads. I have seen them
at stores that basically sell camping and outdoor supplies.
