What do I need to know? Have been invited for a week glamping with friends (and about 10 children)

pmsl - i swear dh would be come aroused by that link

I think I'll just crawl back to the minimalist camping threads.

Slubberdegullion · 01/07/2009 15:30

aww Fennel. I don't think you can do minimalist glamping can you? It looks like a physical impossibility.

LadyOfWaffle · 01/07/2009 15:31

Oh wow, I feel so grubby scouring argos for a crappy tent and airbed now!

pmsl @ minimalist glamping.
lightweight nylon bunting?
chandelier where all the candleholders nest like stacking cups?
Cath Kidston goretex?

If space and money were no object, then that's how I'd camp, who wouldn't? It looks gorgeous.

Slubberdegullion · 01/07/2009 15:37

LOL yes. You get to take one (foldable) tea light holder and one triangle of bunting that triples up as the seive and an emergency sling.

I seem to have a foot in both camps
'Grubby minimalist' is my look i guess.(which is the worst of both worlds really isn't it )
I would love to be all spotty plates and and chequered bunting but somehow i fail miserably in the garnishing dept. (despite having the required tangled haired grubby girl)
My friend Marthamoo is a natural garnisher...she doesn't actually really like camping that much...she just likes the 'stuff' She spends 10 minutes in her tent and it is like an instant bedouin makeover. She should offer out her services-'Ponce my tent'

ilovemydogandmrobama · 01/07/2009 20:15

love love the pole tent....

Bedouin looks so cool!

Found some solar lights (at Tescos). Is this allowed?

If jollydays is so fab how come they have space in August / July still? Hmmmm? LOL

ilovemydogandmrobama · 01/07/2009 21:48

You guys absolutely won't believe this -- there's a restaurant service, bar, hotel room service

Hillarious

desperate for some-- glam take me here now

How ridiculous LOL! Quite silly

Good that they can arrange helicopter transfers though,I worry about where to put ours on site.

Slubberdegullion · 02/07/2009 09:11

I wonder what is in the fancy dress tent? Maybe you can dress up for a day like the oiks down the road at the standard campsite, with generic crocs, 3/4 length trousers from George and a 5 year old mishapen t-shirt with the stains of last night's spag bol on.

I so want to go too

EachPeachPearMum · 09/07/2009 06:46

Oh my
We are utterly minimialist campers (born of having no car until fairly recently)... but Jolly days looks fantastic!
Some of those tents are bigger than my house...

blithedance · 09/07/2009 10:12

all you need to know

Confess to a bit of a yen for colourful blankets and cushions, but that is because our tent is so Outwell-khaki, otherwise it feels like we are in MAS*H.
