Intro: Okay so I bit. I saw the terming "Glamping" and looked it up. Apparently it's Glamor Camping.
Step 1: My first reaction to that is: Why bother? If you want to stay some place glamorous what are you doing outdoors?
Step 2: I realize that is an overreaction. Having been camping in my youth, I can see that it might be nice if it was a little bit less grungy.
Step 3: A refrigerator in your tent? Okay, I am back on the warpath. This is not camping!!!
Step 4: You can order a pizza! Why did you bother to leave home? The mosquitoes are more exotic in the great outdoors?
Step 5: Come to think of it, I seem to remember we stayed in some pseudo cabin in the woods in the Great Smoky mountains. But since it had a TV and a hot tub and a bathroom, I did not try to call it "camping."
Step 6: Now looking through the articles on glamping, I do seem some structures that look like huge tents. They always seem to have beds though. I guess curling up in a ratty looking sleeping bag and using a rock for a pillow is a thing of the past.
Step 7: High end camping basically takes away all the concerns you may have had over bodily functions and creature comforts in the camping experience. Apparently, at some glamping concerns, you can have your meals prepared and your beds made. So the only rough part of "roughing it" is the part you want rough. Like the hiking and the picture taking. And such.
