It's a long-standing family joke that Millie won't go on holidays to any destination where she can't plug in her hair drier. So you can imagine my delight to discover that I can still enjoy the great outdoors but with all the deluxe comforts.


Welcome to the world of Glamping (Glamour+Camping)! 1,000 thread count sheets, soft pillows, room (oops tent!) service, luxury bathrooms & much more. For those of us non-purists who only want to sleep under five stars!

  1. Now this is my idea of camping! Romantic, comfortable, and without lonely torch-light walks to a hole in the ground! I am thinking that a few days at one of these gorgeous places would be very relaxing.
    I love the term 'glamping' too! Might have to throw that into a conversation sometime soon.

  3. Glamping!!! I love it.
    I always thought roughing it was a Hotel with no pool...because I was allergic to canvas.
    I just got over my allergy...
    what a great T shirt slogan

  7. Yay! you're back!! This is my style of camping, who in their right mind wants to smell like a bush fire and be damp anyway! Is this the glamping site in the NSW South Coast?? Ness xx

  9. Millie - LOVE IT! except those "tents" are nicer than my actual home!! - Glamping is right up my 'alleyway' (as Emma would say) - My sister is curretnly on safari in Tanzania - something tells me it isn't as 'swish' as this - I remember hearing something about her pillow being her sleeping bag cover full of dirty clothes!?!? x

  10. Millie, Millie, Millie... where do you find such glorious images?!! I'd would definitely give up a hotel for any of these gorgeous set ups. So pleased you had a happy time with your family. A-M xx

  11. Glamping-ha ha! With those pictures, who wouldn't want to go? Now if someone can find a way to make sure bugs are never a part of a camping trip, we'd be good to go!

  16. I can't believe I just did a small post on camping today and then came across this post - puts mine to shame. This is definately my idea of camping - hope we can do it in half as much style as these pictures. Tracey x
