Traditional Campgrounds converted to Glamping


Zulu

Recommended Posts

I thought "glamping" was an abstract term until I discovered what happened to Yosemite West / Mariposa KOA which is now AutoCamp Yosemite. AutoCamp owns two other glamping campgrounds.

While KOA prices are usually pricey, check out the AutoCamp prices -- $200 to over $400+ for a night in an Airstream. Middle class America not welcome.

Hopefully, this isn't a widespread trend. However, in the 50s - 60s my family used to spend summers in northern WI resorts which have now become private condos.

Anyone know of other glamping campground chains like AutoCamp?

Back when my father-in-law's brother worked for the CCC an autocamp was where you parked your car and pitched your tent when traveling. Nothing like what this place offers.

Now you can Google glamping and find places you would not believe! Yes, even here in Minnesota!

The luxury comes from not having to deal with it yourself. :)

It could be a scene in the next "RV movie"; it would be hysterica!

A whole new meaning to "black rain".
