I was roped into the Cotswold 24 a few weeks ago. It was surprisingly fun, and we did surprisingly well (5th team overall, 3rd in category of 6 - 8 mixed).
The campsite had a 10pm quiettime, which meant you could actually sleep, and the portaloos were cleaned occasionally, although could have done with being cleaned more often.
4am runs in the pissing rain is a new experience though.

Did the spitfire scramble 24hr relay over the weekend, had only ran 2x sub 4 mile runs since london marathon and only went out of obligation to my team as we had a lot of dropouts last minute.
struggled through 2x 6 mile laps going into saturday evening then when due to some craziness my next lap came around 3 hours earlier than planned my legs said no chance and my resolve broke so I spent rest of the weekend chilling in my tent trolling my teammates and the other RDC teams.
good laugh, good fun camping (even though sleep was more or less impossible as the campsite was active the whole time), well organised, pretty decent course with some beautiful views from atop the thankfully small hills.
only 2 bad things i can say about the whole event were mosquitos and the horrific state of the portaloos come sunday morning never have I been so close to vomiting purely from a bad smell.
A+ event would do again (but with actual training next time).
