camping redefined?
I was drooling over the travel section in the NYTimes, when I came across a blurb about “refined” camping with The Four Seasons (wha???).
Each of the 15 tents at the campsite is as luxurious as a five-star hotel room; each is 581 square feet and has a hand-hammered copper tub, high-speed Internet, twice-daily housekeeping and even a safe.
Okay, but are campers still forced to shit in a bucket? Important questions go unanswered!
Another popular “campsite” in Missoula (ironically named Tent City) features feather beds and a butler to do pesky camping chores for you like gathering firewood and interacting with your family.
Has anyone heard of this before? I yearn to know more!
Normally, I would be against the idea of drunken yahoos blazing at high speed right through the middle of a campsite in their four-wheel-drive truck, roof lights and shotguns blazing, flattening tents and terrifying (or killing) the occupants.
But suddenly it seems appropriate.
