My daughter says we glamp - but she does the very basics. She has worked at summer festivals and takes only the very basic stuff - even some of her food is dehydrated food so that nothing goes off. She is also is a Brownie leader and took 28 little camplets on holiday recently and the Brownies still do basic stuff.
We on the other hand have EHU, camp beds, sims, kettle, lights, fridge, halogen oven, heater - but no beautifying bits like hairdryer or straighteners - I don't do that when camping. But, heaven forbid, we also have a carpet and camping slippers - now according to her - that is glamping.
Now, I have seen many tents inside and out as I walk back and forth at campsites and I think that I know a thing or two more than her - and in my opinion, we certainly do not glamp! We are, as many of you who have written up above before me are, what I call comfortable. After all it is our holiday home.
Hmmmm, she does like camping with us though!

Imo, glamping is when you bring stuff purely for prettifying, not for comfort.
Mind you, we're probably at the "ascetic" end of the scale to some minds - we don't do EHU (charge phones in car, have hair straighteners that work from the cigarette lighter, use a cool bag or box). We have a comfy bed, warm bedding, a cooker that works fine and a table and chairs - we find that's all we need.
What's important to me, though, is that everyone gets the camping trip they enjoy, whether they're full-on glampers or backpackers with the most basic kit.
Love "shamping" for people who stay in pre-erected yurts etc though!
