You didn't say what sort of "Camping" you like to do. From what you did mention however, for reasonable quality and off grid and all weather capability my recommendation would be something along the lines of:
Glacier peak Fifth wheel from Outdoors RV (They build their own frames) due to the rig being a fifth wheel with some of the length overlapping the truck your overall length will be shorter than a similarly sized bumper pull, and towing will probably be a little more secure as well. You do have to deal with a little extra height of the rig however.
I would couple this 5er with an Andersen Ultimate hitch, which although a fifth wheel hitch, it's easily as light and easy to remove and install as most equalizer bumper pull hitches. If you choose the aluminum version it's even lighter than most equalizer type hitches.
