Glamping?

Ever heard of glamping? If not, you are not alone. It is a combination of 2 words - glorified and camping. Some people say it means glamorous camping or luxury camping. So, which one do you do? Let's see what it is.

Let me set this straight - when I use a tent or a pop up camper, I am camping. When I use a travel trailer, also known as an RV, I am not really camping. Right?

When you put up a tent, gather your own firewood, build a fire by rubbing 2 sticks together, dip water from a creek, and cook fish you caught skewered, on a stick, over your fire - that is what I call roughing it. It's the opposite of rv glamping.

I would not enjoy that kind of camping.

That is mostly what Boy Scouts do. Survival of the fittest. I'm here to tell you, I am not one of the fittest.

Glamping is more my kind of camping. Well, let's say middle of the road glamping.

Another level of glamping would be renting a fully outfitted cabin, complete with nearby tennis courts and swimming pools.

But, I digress. I prefer fancy travel trailers with modern conveniences and comforts like I have at home. Things like a TV, microwave, fridge. A fancier glamping RV would even have a dishwasher.

Pulling your travel trailer into the campground, backing it into a great relaxing site, letting the leveling feet down, building a fire with firewood you brought with you, opening the refrigerator and getting your meal ready, cooking it over the fire and sitting back and watching a little TV before bed - that's more my kind of camping.

I guess I'm a little soft skinned.

Maybe I'm somewhat lazy, or maybe spoiled, I don't know. My husband is so good to set up in whatever camping style we decide to go with.

We have gone camping on our motorcycles. That is not all bad once in a while. Getting your gear from point A to point B is the hardest thing.

I enjoyed traveling on the motorcycles to camp, but I could not do it every time I wanted to.

So, I will consider myself a glamping RV girl.

I will say my husband is a glamping trailer guy, with confidence.

Which one do you consider yourself? Do you prefer glamping or primitive camping?
