It is thought the tragic couple had failed to stay in touch after pitching up last week on the shores of Loch Awe, near Dalmally, Argyll.
Officers then made the shocking find on Saturday afternoon.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said there were no suspicious circumstances.
The couple are thought to have lived together in a cottage in the village of Longridge, West Lothian.
Adele’s shattered mother Anne posted a picture of the pair on Facebook.
She wrote online: “I am devastated to be writing this — my eldest daughter Adele and her partner Craig have sadly passed away.
“The family are heartbroken at this time.
“You are my firstborn, the one who made me a mum.
“I’m in pieces, another part of my heart is in heaven.”
One pal posted photos of her on country walks with Adele.
She said: “Thank you for always being an amazing friend, always honest and caring.”
A neighbour in Longridge said: “They were a good couple who liked camping. It’s a tragedy.”
Police Scotland said: “A man and woman were found deceased within a tent on the side of Loch Awe at 4.25pm on Saturday.
“Their deaths are not being treated as suspicious.”
