Guide To Glamping. (I wish)


Glamping is glamorous camping. You may stay in a tent, but the facilities are generally five-star and go way beyond what you would normally expect on a camping trip.

However you dress it up, camping is camping.
I wish I was going glamping (from what I heard it's a lot nicer, warmer and cleaner), but alas, I am going the regular kind of camping; with mud, portaloos, cold showers and a tent with a broken pole*. 

But I am on a mission to make my camping as glamerous as I possibly can...as much as one can in 5 inches of mud, the msot disgusting toilet/shower experience ever to be heard of.

So,
Rule One:
Always look like you've just stepped out of a 5* tent. It's called 'Camping Chic', not 'Look like a drowned rat'
Like this, Millie Mackintosh T4 at the beach.

Not this.

Rule Two:
Be prepared for the weather. Wellies and not a bin bag a nice mac would do.

Not this.

Rule 3:
Go prepared to eat rubbish all week.

This happened to my cooker last year. Gas leaked, I turned it on and it burst into flames. 
I don't recommend it.

Rule four:
The toilets and showers (if there are any) are disgusting; be prepared to gag.

I've been mentally scarred by searching for images of this, I don't recommend it.

Rule five:
Have the time of your life.Tumblr_m52yosphwe1qev349o1_500_large

So that's how I see camping. 
I'm going to work at a festival called Soul Survivor in a cafe , then go on to another one, Momentum, straight after.
Packing is proving tough, it's hard to pack for every type of weather: Sun, rain, mud, cold.. my pile of clothes is getting bigger and bigger!

Whilst I'm away I've got 5 beautiful ladies to guest blog for me..and let me tell you now, the posts are pretty special! So keep an eye out for those over the next 2 weeks!

Have a lovely few weeks :)

My tent does really have a broken pole, my brother used it last week and he said the whole thing caved in on them during the night, great.

  12. There is no way to look nice camping, I reckon there must be private showers hidden somewhere for the celebs who claim they actually camped. Great post x
