A fair few Australian resorts are getting like this, not loosing the element of the wilderness and the camping spirit. Too many resorts are just outdoor hotels. Anyone can put a Vegas in a Forrest and call it Glamping -NOT!

Cultural critic Virginia Postrel discusses the true meanings, and the powerful uses, of glamour and the impact it has in our world. The power of glamour also has the ability to motivate, move and and bring about change-in both directions.
WARNING: Virgina’s voice is a tad frustrating, just concentrate on content spoken.
This observation on glamour and its meaning, really makes you realize things and places that you take for granted as glamorous, but just never thought of them been in the glamour basket.
Glamping has introduced us to the camping world, with a smattering of glamour. I like the fact one can afford the choice in life were you are able to take an experience like been outdoors, and glaming it up!
Our traditional core campers, love the concept of simplicity, and traditional methods that make up the experince of an outdoor camp.
I am a big YES SIR, for this new wave of glamping. It is taking people, probably who would never get out in the outdooors, and placing them in nature with a touch of glamour and style.
What considered glamourous to one, is not to another, but the net effect is that we are getting back out into nature, and letting her do a little natural healing on our souls!
