Partir camper c’est la certitude pour toute la famille de vivre des moments à la fois simple, authentiques et inoubliables.

Ok, here\'s the challenge:

A camping trip is one way to make sure that the entire family has a simple, real and unforgettable time together.

a simple, authentic and unforgettable experience

I would use a structure like this. There's no reason not to use the word "authentic" in English. "Real" sounds weird.

for the whole family to experience/have (a )simple, quality and unforgetable time

'Quality time' is very much an expression of the moment, especially in the US. where families don't spend a lot of time together. But I would personally say this is true everywhere, busy schedules etc...

Allows the whole family to share [or : expericence] simple, authentic and unforgetable moments.

I agree with Colin --"authentic" works in English, having the original sense of "Original, first-hand, prototypical; as opposed to copied," and, by extension, "Real, actual, `genuine.' (Opposed to imaginary, pretended)."
