Don't lie to your parents! You'll only lose their trust, and you'll regret ever doing it.
Try having a calm, mature conversation with them about it, or sleeping someplace else [if possible].

Lying isn't going to get you anywhere - especially in this situation.
Let's just say they found out somehow.. or if something happened - they wouldn't trust you again for a long time and wouldn't be happy to see you hanging around with guys.
Tell them where you're really going and tell them who with. Give them contact numbers (they probably won't even phone your friends) and promise to keep in contact with them to prove you're safe.
If you try to show you're mature and responsible, they might agree to let you go.

Lying to your parents is the absolute worst thing you can do. You almost always get caught and it ends up blowing up in your face. And most of the time, if they would have just been truthful, they would have gotten what they wanted.
Just be honest with your parents, and it will show maturity and they'll give you more freedoms and such.

Honestly, I would just tell your parents the truth. Being truthful would pay off definitely in the long run. Honesty will show them that you are maturing and are responsible and trustworthy. That way the next time you want to go on a camping trip, they might allow you to.
Worrying that you'd get found out is your conscious telling you it's a bad idea to lie. Therefore, it's probably best to listen to that little voice inside your head.
