There's also a bit of a final-night tradition that you drink the rest of the alcohol you have and go feral, slashing, burning holes in, or otherwise destroying each other's tents.

But also, they're cheap tents that probably leaked all weekend, they probably have no real intention of camping again anytime soon.

It's shit, but it's been that way forever.

Is there anyway to opt out of getting your shit destroyed?

Go home on Sunday mostly! There is a calm/quiet campsite area which I think does avoid most of the destruction - but the teenagers never want to be in it, because it's mostly full of older people.
