I think I still prefer the unglamorous ways of camping, where you can spend the night on hard ground and have your food stolen by bears :)

Bravo, L! Glamping is not camping, and humans are supposed to get dirty and sweaty and wet – it makes the AC and toilets seem even more luxurious than this “glamping” nonsense. :)

WEll, I suppose some of these resorts, campgrounds, exotic game parks, probably use the money to keep the place up, right? Course, we’ll never see those places…How come you never hear about THESE people being eaten by bears or kidnapped by natives?

I agree with Katherine. This is so far removed from what camping is – and means.

I’m not going to lie: Motel 6 is what I consider camping, but I have been known to give in and “rough it” in an RV.

However, “glamping” is absolutely ridiculous. How can that even considered camping?

And to think I thought glamping was having a campsite with electricity so I can blow up my air mattress.

Oh, dear. Just when I thought that camping in a cabin versus a tent was overkill. This is nuts.

And the whole squishing two words together to make a “new” word also drives me crazy.

I hear rabid bears have an affinity for persian rugs and antiques, true story, read it in a book entitled “What to watch out for when you are incredibly rich and think you are camping when actually you are just in a 5 star resort that happens to be near nature”

I’d like to go on one of those hunts where they have some caged multi-billionare turned loose and all you have to do is peg him.
