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...

How about we call it RV-ing.. That way we are not putting down or up anyone???
No.
Because that's not descriptive at all...AND Camping vs Glamping is not a put down!
The thing I love about RVing is the HUGE VARIETY it offers.
Sometimes we ARE in to glamping...Fancy RV park with full hook ups and activity center and pink flamingo lights.
Other times, we are in a national forest conserving batteries and water (and yes, we don't run exterior lights except for when there's a good need).
Unfortunately there are people here who like one and can't help but look down on the other.
Other adjectives: Boondocking, dry camping, RV-park vs National park, Urban RV park, Wal-Mart-Overnighting, Beach camping, Cold camping, Snowbirding...these all describe important sub groups of RVing. Glamping is just a cute term when you go the extra yard (or mile) for fanciness and comfort.
RVing is ok as a catch-all, but it describes very little. All of the other words and adjectives tell others what you are talking about.
