Camping or Glamping?
If you use your own equipment, and not “renting”, but reside in a nice, self-contained unit.....is it camping or glamping? After listening to my wife read about “glamping”.....I discovered that...

About 20 years ago (maybe more?), a co-worker and his wife decided to try camping with us at Glamis. They had ATV's, and so they bought a tent and other "camping" gear, although they shared the cooking and bathroom facilities in our class C. At one point, the wife said to us; "Your RV is nice, but it's not really camping". I told her that I go to Glamis (or other locations) mainly to ride (or jetski, or...), and the less time and energy I have to spend setting up and tearing down "camp", the more time and energy I have to do what I'm actually there to do. She said she still preferred the tent.
That night, the wind came up and it rained cats & dogs.
The next month's trip came...and they joined us again...but in their own motorhome!:B
I've camped in everything from tents to my class A. I still do most of our cooking outside (albeit on a gas grille/griddle) and we spend most of our time outside around the campfire (yes, sometimes a gas fire if woodfires are not allowed). And admittedly there is a very broad gray line between camping and glamping within the RV world, from boondocking to high-end RV resorts with paved/landscaped roads, streetlights, clubhouses, pools, etc. But if I'm not at home, and I'm not in a fixed stick & brick building, then AFAIC I'm camping. YMMV.
