We camp UK style. We have a small tent with a small single ring methylated spirits burner (which can and has got a tiny gas bottle conversion kit). We prefer to camp wild and do so most of the time. Pitches are usually in the tents area of campsites
if we use them at all, and generally don't have electricity or water. If they do have either, we don't use it. We have no adaptors, carry no adaptors and only carry water bottles and occasionally a couple of 5L water containers (that flat pack). I also have a second lighter weight tent that is smaller, generally used by myself or for single overnight excursions with my OH in good weather. In addition to that we have 2 bivvy bags and a tarp which we sometimes use. The cold the weather (freezing cold that is) the better because it suits us better, early to bed, early to rise. We camp all year round (and have camped in -20C), though it is over 4 years now since I last camped in anything below -10C.
Our camping hasn't changed since we met, and how I camp has become more basic since I left home. I have camped all my life (started when I was 6 months old apparently!)
We may need to look at our tent situation for our new environment in Australia. We may be better going back to canvas for the humidity (at the coast) to dry off. But I don't know yet.

Our main tent which my OH carries on his bike because he wanted the 'larger' sized tent with the built in extension at a wild camp in Ireland (EIRE)

Our little tent which I can carry by myself. It weighs in under 1kg - or did until I replaced the pegs with something useable, on a Welsh campsite. I was the only tent.

Our stove (a trangia) and its gas bottle can be seen by my OH in this picture (wild camp in Arctic tundra Norway above the 75th Parrallel). If we are in the car, we will 'splash' out and take both stoves and have 2 rings. 1 meths and 1 gas.
We also have 2 Vango Force 10 mk IVs (both originally bright orange, but now more of a very faded apricot) but they were left in the UK because I ran out of time to get them clean enough to get them through Australian Biosecurity Customs Controls and didn't want them confiscating and burning. Sadly both would have been idea on the coast here, with them being canvas tents (lets the humidity through where the above 2 don't.)
