Inappropriateness like a lot of things is based on perception. As someone old enough to be your grandfather life has taught me that how someone perceives something does not make it right or wrong. Since they perceive it therefore it is. I will admit this is a little confusing.
Since your boyfriends parents will be there to chaperon; as you say you you will not be sleeping in the same bed. My perception of you going camping with your boyfriends parents is totally appropriate. If your tent camping you should not be sleeping in the same tent unless the entire family is sleeping in the same tent.
Your mothers perception of just what and how you will be camping and what the sleeping arrangements will be may be what is causing her to feel it is inappropriate. Try explaining in detail just what and how you will be camping. What the sleeping arrangements will be. Is there anyone besides you, his parents and your boyfriend who will be there.
The only way to change what your mother may be perceiving is to give her the full picture. The word "CAMPING" means different things to different people. My wife would never tent camp. To her camping means an RV of some type. So give your mother as much information as you can gather and maybe you can change her mind.

I don't find it innapropiate. I think it sounds fun.

No, it's not innapropiate. It depends on the situation you guys are in. (This is just my opinion)
