That's not a typo. Glamping is glamorous camping. People who like a little bling with their boondocking. I first became involved with them last year when I was writing The Time Travel Trailer and wanted more info on restoring vintage campers. There are members here from Iowa, northern Wisconsin, Nebraska, and the St. Louis and Kansas City areas.
We are at Lake Macbride for a Midwest Glampers event. There are 17 or 18 of these whimsical abodes scattered throughout the campground, They are all named and most have a theme. The one next to us is 'Violet' and you can see the theme from the photo. Across from us is 'Hedy LeCub' with the interior in a bohemian theme. This afternoon, there will be a tour and we will get to see the insides of most of them.

When the Midwest Glampers get together, they like to explore area shops, do a little crafting and of course, eat. Yesterday, some went to the nearby Amana Colonies and today, they plan to swim, have a crafting session, the tour, and a Dutch oven cooking lesson. Meals are potlucks and yesterday the group managed to cobble together a gathering area out of portable awnings and picnic tables. We enjoyed a great supper and campfire. I just wish I hadn't left my giant pasta salad in the basement fridge at home.
