Mine was around 30 nights (including a couple of nights in the corner of a cow shed...) This was with some friends when I was about 16 / 17.  We did the same thing two summers in a row. 

I remember the first night, there were five of us, all of our kit for a month, and a 4 man tent.  We managed to somehow get some sleep, even though personal space was somewhat limited (there are stories we will never tell...) 

I do remember sleeping with the bottom half of my legs sticking out of the door in a bin bag...

The kindly owner of the field subsequently loaned us an old frame tent (a bit mouldy, a couple of tears, no inner, no groundsheet...).  We thought it was a palace!

The whole experience brings a smile to my face even now 15 years later.
