Glamping: Galmorous Camping for the Rich

Aug 19, 2007 (14 hours ago) Glamping: Glamorous Camping for the Rich from Neatorama by Alex Photo: Myung J. Chun / LA Times Glamourous camping or "Glamping" is a new trend for the rich: going back to nature in style and luxury! After typing "luxury" into a Google search along with "camping" and "Montana," the couple settled on The Resort at Paws Up, a 37,000-acre getaway in the heart of Big Sky country. It’s a place for affluent travelers who want to enjoy the outdoors but can’t fathom using a smelly outhouse, a place where paying someone to light the campfire is a badge of honor, not the mark of a Boy Scout flunky. [The family] shelled out $595 a night — plus an additional $110 per person per day for food. It’s a hefty price to sleep in a tent, but the perks include a camp butler to build their fire, a maid to crank up the heated down comforter at nightfall and a cook to whip up bison rib-eye for dinner and French toast topped with huckleberries for breakfast.
