I just looked up the loan word "camping" in a French dictionary, and
its pronunciation is transcribed as [kA~piN].

And I can confirm that they really say it like that. Also in Spain.
All the French I know is camping French.

While I was in France, I tried to find out where one could go camping
and got nowhere. Now I learn they go to Spain to do it.
