Do you like our glamping tent?

The photo shows our glamping tent at Boat Harbour on the south coast of Western Australia. This is where we stayed on Saturday night. Although it seemed small, we had a queen-size mattress and two easy chairs plus a couple of small tables. The bed was really comfortable and we were really cosy once we went to bed. As you can see, there was a table and two chairs outside and even a kennel for a dog, if we’d had one. The item at the top of the tent entrance is a small solar panel with enough oomph to charge a telephone. My cyclamen spent the night next to the flowers near the tent door.

@judyev Very stylish indeed. Was it snake proof?

@JudyEv we camped old style in Moçambique, Rhodesia and South Africa before taking a boat to Australia for 3 months. My phobia and distress didn’t come on for another 10 years. However we watched a rhino from afar having a good nosey.

@xFiacre I shouldn't make fun of your phobia. So a rhino was nosing around your tent? That would REALLY spook me! Give me a snake any day.

Yes, the floor was part of it and if you kept the zips on the doors done up, then no snakes could get in. We only noticed one or two trying.

I love the idea of a mattress! Quite cool! I still would prefer a 5-star hotel. lololol

It looks like quite an improvement over any tent that I have ever peeked into. I immediately noticed the flowers near the tent door and the solar panel.

@JudyEv Someone went to alot of thought to make it feel like it was homey and not a tent.

@Juliaacv They did. It had a nice mat and you can see the bed is nicely made up with a mohair blanket across the foot.

This is a pretty cozy tent and I do like the inside. Is the mattress an inflatable one?

I thought it was just a normal mattress but Vince thinks it might have been an inflatable. It was certainly very stable and comfortable.

@JudyEv I bought an inflatable, to have it ready to place in the shelter "just in case", but we have not tried it.

@LadyDuck The only ones I remember tended to wobble but this one felt more like a regular mattress.

Inside looks so spacious , you would never guess looking at it from the outside. Camping out should be fun.

I think it's harder for women, we can't really go behind the bushes without worrying about wee kritters that might jump into our pants.

Not everyone enjoys camping, that's for sure. It gets less fun as you get older too.

@rebelann That's for sure but now some camping areas will have some sort of toilet even if there are no other amenities.

Glamorous/glorified camping. So, for us, we had a proper bed and easy chairs even though we were in a tent.

It looks so cozy and comfortable inside, indeed. It appears small from the outside but inside it's wide enough. It would be great to go camping and sleep at night in bed. The outside area is also good. Were there other campers there too? It would be good to enjoy a community bonfire in the evenings.

There were others there too but ours was the only tent. We had a community campfire at night and it was a very enjoyable evening.
