The Glamorous Side of Camping

THE GLAMOROUS SIDE OF CAMPING

I am not into camping.
I do not take kindly to the discomfort.
Not that I don’t appreciate nature or the outdoors, but I see no reason why I should sleep on the ground and wake up with sand and dust in my cavities.

But apparently I have no idea what camping is all about these days.
There are those who take camping seriously, and acquire all the necessary equipment and stuff to make it all more convenient and comfortable.

For example:
I had a sister-in-law who took camping seriously.
I am talking about many years ago, before all this modern stuff was available.
She used to get her husband and son to make several trips to the camping site, carting things like her kitchen table and chairs, mattresses, the lounge carpet and even a chest of drawers.

Little did she know that she was way ahead of her time and was indeed the forerunner to Glamping.

Glamping, is a term derived from the phrase "glamorous camping," and the idea is to bring nature and luxury together.
These days it includes plush double beds, fully furnished dining rooms, spa services and wi-fi internet, all in the comfort of your tent.

In the US for example, there are packages that start at $650 per night and go all the way up to $50k for a week.

Why not just book into a six-star hotel or lodge?

Oh yes. I forgot. The idea is to experience nature.
