Just goes to prove that Dally is responsible for all our woes, he's a slicker.

Glamping - rugs and real furniture inside a tent.

Reality - stuff still gets damp, rugs get muddy, you're still camping, but you're paying three times what the pop-up tent next door paid.

Just booked a few days in a tipi. It apparently has a proper bed and an electric heater. Although cooking equipment is provided, luckily there is an option to have a gourmet cooked breakfast delivered to the tent. Phew!
