  I guess we are probably classed as glampers, ie: EHU, tent carpet, fan heater, electric kettle, etc.  However I would view these as functional items, of course they make camping more comfortable, But.......

  I'm kinda hankering for some Cath Kidson oilcloth bunting to tie to the front guylines, totally useless item for no reason other than it looks nice, now that really would be glamping!!!!!!!!!

  Best wishes Sam

  PS: I won't be buying any though, have you seen the price even on ebay!

Boutique Camping is found at music festivals in the UK. Also called glamping, posh camping or comfy camping. It allows people to escape the hassles of finding camp space, carrying their tents, and erecting and taking down nylon tents. Companies deliver accommodation units to the festival, as well as build and breakdown the units for their guests. Various companies with various products exist. These products include: tents, bell tents, podpads, yurts, and tipis. (Wikepedia)

I've obviously been doing it completely wrong.....it's festivals from now on! Do you think if I asked nicely the campsite manager might do it for me?

I just did a quick search on Boutique Camping and found this slideshow, it should provide some inspiration for your own setups

  Wow, just sat open mouthed at those bedouin tents, now that is luxury glamping.

  Bring it on!

  Best wishes Sam

Cool or what? Now THAT'S Glamping!

(Now I'm sitting here thinking about tie-dying the trailer tent inners....)

Don't worry numbersix, I do get it.  :-) Honest.
