Glamping in a motorhome
Glamping is the new holiday buzzword that everyone's talking about. The word has been circulating the celebrity scene for many months now and the trend is beginning to take off with holidaymakers across the world. So what is glamping? Glamping stands for "glamorous camping" and refers to a luxury form of camping. Camping used to mean crouching in a tent, wading through muddy fields and trying to cook on a tiny gas stove. Glamping does away with the old image and renovates the camping scene for the 21st century, bringing with it all the mod cons one might expect from a 5-star hotel.
So, which celebrities enjoy glamping? There are too many to mention, but here are just a few to whet your appetite. Matthew McConaughey is one happy glamper. The Hollywood superstar can be seen in such hit films as How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (2003) with Kate Hudson, Tropic Thunder (2008) with Ben Stiller and his breakthrough hit Dazed and Confused (1993) with Ben Affleck. Matthew said in a People Magazine interview in that his motorhome is "one of my favourite places. I've got a house, but even when I pull into my house, sometimes I sleep in that thing in my driveway. It's really comfortable. So we're going on a tour... We're going to see what happens."
Glamping in a motorhome is accessible to everyone in the UK. Motorhome hire is available across the country and travel is permitted in the UK, Ireland and across the EU. You decide whether to take a short break or extended trip. Glamping can also take place in a yurt or wigwam but these funky tents are static and cannot be driven around like a luxury glamping motorhome can.
Another famous glamping fan is singer, songwriter, actress and musician Dolly Parton. The country music superstar spends her time on the road in a luxury motorhome and takes holidays with her husband, Carl Dean, in one during her free time. In an interview with Roadtrek RV, Parton was quoted as saying: "I've practically spent my entire life on a bus or [a motorhome]. It's private, fun and besides, I haul around a bunch of stuff! If I had to carry all of this junk to a hotel room, it would be time to check out before I even checked in!" Glamping in a motorhome allows you to bring plenty of clothes and other items and there's always ample storage space in these cleverly constructed machines. You will even find a full-size wardrobe on board to avoid creasing those outfits.
So what is glamorous about camping? Travelling in a motorhome is like taking a luxury apartment on the road; you have a lounge and dining area, full-size confortable beds, a private en-suite washroom and kitchenette with all the appliances you need to prepare delicious meals. Even the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, is a glamper. Upon winning his title, he took his wife and two daughters on a glamping motorhome tour of the US.
