glamping n. A form of camping that includes expensive equipment, fine food, and other luxuries. [Blend of glamor and camping.]
—glamper n. Example Citation: Open from May through September, this Canadian resort is a top destination for “glamping,” or glamor camping. Guests at Clayoquot stay in one of 20 tents, but these canvas contraptions are tricked out better than most city apartments: fancy carpets, oil lamps, antique furniture, a cozy fire at the push of a button. In other words, heavy on the glamor, light on the camping.
