camp beds, cool boxes tables and chairs isn't glamping, it's camping with loads of stuff
A dishwasher in your Yurt, now that's glamping

Must admit that we know of a few "campers" that have dishwashers and washing machines in their camper vans, not small vans though
I like Skol

I'm planning to continue my basic camping trips this year. Just hoping you lot & your mates don't all turn up and spoil the peace and quiet!

Campsite or freecamping?
I can't see much peace on campsites until just before they close for the winter. And maybe not then.

Sticking to my 37x12 foot metal tent with central heating for now. Unfortunately it's in Glamorous Wales, from which we've been chucked out of since September.

Surely this is glamping.
If the views not this good, then its just shuffling about in a field, with facilities less amenable than those to be found at home*.
*Yeah I know I did it for enough years with small kids in tow..

This is pretty goddarn glamorous, for the geologically minded.
Oh I do. hope we're all allowed to go somewhere soon.
Even Wales feels like a far flung exotic location right now
Looks like my kind of spot. Lurberrrrly

Yurts are just overpriced part-canvas constructed holiday homes though. They have very little to do with camping. You don't even have to take a washing up sponge with you.
I looked at yurts last summer. The cost of two nights was the equivalent of a week in a self catering cottage in same area. Definitely overpriced.

Surely it is each to their own. Why criticise and belittle?

Obviously an Aubergine
Yes, far far away from the maddening crowds -
Although i have to confess to quite happily using campsites from time to time - hot showers and proximity to eating out options is nice now and then too.
I've got a little one man tent I use for bikepacking. Although I do stay at campsites because I want a shower and a toilet. And a place to charge things like my phone, wahoo, and battery packs. My friends think I'm mental. We're hopefully going on a short West country tour this summer. But I've had to find campsites with either a B&B/pub accommodation attached or glamping pods because they don't fancy sleeping in a tent.

I had an August bank holiday weekend in a Shepherd's hut on a farm in the lake district a few years ago. It was a very last minute thing and we got lucky. The farm already had a some holiday cottages and the daughter had bought this shepherd's hut as a project. We were it's first guests and because of that it was really cheap. It was lovely but I wouldn't pay the going rate for one. She has a few now and they are permanently booked up

As a kid my dad would take us wild camping in North Wales. In the evenings he'd quite happily take us to the nearest campsite to use the showers. Then on to a pub somewhere we could sit outside.
