Why irse not ir?
Él se fue de acampada con sus amigos ________ en casa tranquila. He went camping with his friends while I studied at home quietly. Hi, I’m confused about se fue here. Does it mean he went AWAY camping? rather than he went camping? Thanks, Shirley.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Mientras with past tenses in the indicative and subjunctive in Spanish (subordinate time/conditional clauses)"

Hola Shirley
This is using the "se aspectual" where the action is emphasised and it generally conveys more involvment in the action by the subject.
Saludos
Inma
