Autocamp glamping

Not sure exactly where to post this, or if it has been posted.

Interesting article about "glamping". Pre-setup Airstreams, some "remodeled" and some purpose built.

Could be a good experience for people new to RV'ing.

  • Hmmmm, "The Yosemite site ranges from $175 to $475 per night depending on the season and day." What a deal!!! ;)
  • I rather wonder about this statement:

    Instead of tediously starting and tending to a fire, I was able to purchase firewood at the general store. All I had to do was light it using some complimentary matches, and I was ready to make my meals.


    Umm, aren't you still starting and tending the fire? Most campgrounds sell firewood and I don't think bringing a book of matches or a lighter is that difficult.

    I can see it being an option for folks with the money wanting an "experience" just like resorts, spas, etc offer. But I think some of the "pros" listed are just trivial (wow, they put the toiletries in matching amber bottles). And for $175-475 per night, I'd like to think they offer more than microwaveable meals.
