Glamping is not when you're in a CG that has low water pressure, low voltage close to your EMS cutoff, you couldn't snag one of the small handful of sewer hookup sites, you can't get a cell phone signal, their wifi is cr*p, there's no OTA or cable TV, you can't get a sat. signal and every vehicle that goes by kicks up a huge cloud of dust. Now that is "camping"!
Glamping is when they screen your RV for eligibility for entry to their RV "park", the sites and roads are all paved, each site has a token patch of manicured green grass, campfires of any kind are forbidden at all times, they have individual washrooms complete with shower that are cleaner than a 5 star hotel, and there are none of the above issues. We stayed in one of those once and OMG, never again.
Got pulled over once at the border for a random inspection going into the US. CBP guy inside asks where I am going and with chest puffed out, I point to our TT outside and say "we're going camping and that's our travel trailer". Looking like he is about to handcuff me, he raises his voice and says "NO, you are NOT going camping!! Camping is when you set up a tent on the ground and sleep in it." He repeats the question and I tell him "I'm going to an RV park with our RV." He accepts that and goes onto the next question. Geesh...
