Hmmm, not sure I'd call it 'interesting'.... but I suppose it's mildly entertaining if you like that sort of whingeing threnody.
But the tale of bad luck (and sheer incompetence) is undermined by exaggeration, journalistic licence and the near-hysterical tone (all that talk of 'popping sleeping pills', laying awake all night, fields awash with vomit and urine etc).
The author, a journalist, has written other fright pieces for the Mail - how sleeping pills make you lose your money, how terrifying car journeys are ...
"I have never slept well or easily..."
"...motorway traffic, aggressive drivers, monster lorries frighten me ..."
Still, given the piece appeared in the Daily Mail it's a wonder the article didn't also claim that camping causes cancer, tents attract illegal immigrants and campsites lower house prices 
I admit, 'interesting' was not the best way to describe the article

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

That sums up my thoughts...Daily Wail.
