A teenager allegedly stabbed to death while camping with mates has been remembered as the most selfless boy - as his accused killer is due to face court.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was camping with friends at Wilton, just past the outskirts of south-west Sydney, on Friday night when he was allegedly stabbed by Jacob Greig, 32, during an altercation.

His body was found dumped in bushland off Wilton Park Road on Saturday morning, with Greig arrested shortly after 4pm after presenting himself at Narellan Police Station.
