I know this is an old thread, and OP's daughter is likely in college by now, so I'm writing this for others may find this thread wondering about the same thing.
I'm a woman, and I got my first tent, a four season two person backpacking tent, when I was 11. I can't imagine sharing a tent with my parents and brothers while I was going through puberty. Having my own space when camping made camping with my family a lot more pleasant as a teen.
As a young adult I'd often go on group trips with other young adults, and many of the other girls didn't bring their own tent, and ended up sleeping in a usually male, friend's larger tent. Eww. If I didn't want to share a tent with my family why would I want to share one with a group of acquaintances? I had my own. It was small, but high quality, and stayed much drier than everyone else's Walmart tents anyway. Of course mine was too small to share with anyone, even if other people's tents got messed up in a storm.
I got so used to having my own tent, that next time I shared a tent with anyone I was married to them, and we had to buy a bigger tent.
My point is teen girls need their own space while camping. In the long run teaching teen girls to establish their own space on camping trips is will solve more problems than it causes.

) who insisted on the 6mt apart rule meaning booking 2 pitches and paying 2 site fees.I am sure you will agree that most teenagers are grumpy,smelly things that need to be kept at arms length
but I would prefer my family teens just a little closer than 6mt. Campsite horror stories are few and far between and shouldnt be putting you off.Some sort of portable alarm in the tent would give added peace of mind...one of those aerosol can horns perhaps?
