History Main / FancyCamping

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', the Muddlefoots go camping. Since their trailer has a generator and a satellite dish, and is large enough to carry their widescreen TV and couch, this ultimately means that their camping activities consist of sitting on a couch eating popcorn and watching TV in the woods instead of their normal evening activities of sitting on a couch eating popcorn and watching TV in their living room.

Often called "glamping", this is usually done by the CityMouse or just about anyone who couldn't bear at the mere thought of, "roughing it." The things this person brings with them can range from televisions and refrigerators to even the furniture you'd expect in a house or mansion: a full-size bed, sofa, a dining table, and so on. Everyone else who sees this (especially if one of them has experience in living in the woods) will surely point out that that person is ComicallyMissingThePoint.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' episode "Go Tina on the Mountain", the Belcher kids meet a hermit living in the wilderness while they're out on a field trip to a national park. The hermit tells the kids she's been living off the land for months after she decided to leave her modern life in the city behind. Gene and Louise later catch her inside her hut and discover she actually has a bunch of modern furniture and appliances that she stole from the ranger station and admitted that she couldn't even last a day living without modern conveniences and comforts. Gene lampshades this by calling her a "glamper".

** In "Sleepless in Ponyville", Rarity bring a two-story tent on the sisterly camping trip with Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Applejack, Scootaloo, and Rainbow Dash. She even adorns the place with flowers in a fancy vase.
** Rarity is a bit better about this in "Campfire Tales", sleeping in an ordinary tent like the other ponies. Though she still packs three bags' worth of luggage and insists on decorating the campsite with paper lanterns.

Oh, look. It's Alice Sue spending her day in that very fancy (and pretty expensive looking) place wearing nice clothes and sipping on what looks like an espresso or a martini. She looks like she's living the life.

But there's just one thing... Alice is spending the day with her friends [[Main/CampingEpisode camping in the woods;]] where everyone else is sleeping in regular tents, fishing at the lake and roasting marshmallows.

Often called "glamping", this is usually done by the CityMouse or just about anyone who couldn't bear at the mere thought of, "roughing it." The things this person brings with them can range from televisions and refrigerators to even a whole house or mansion. Everyone else who sees this (especially if one of them has experience in living in the woods) will surely point out that that person is ComicallyMissingThePoint.

->''What it was, to be honest with you, was a campground. It was one of those modern ones with swimming pools and miniature golf and video games, the kind that's popular with people whose idea of getting close to nature is to turn the air conditioning in their recreational vehicles down to medium.''

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}''. In the strip on [[https://d1ejxu6vysztl5.cloudfront.net/comics/garfield/1981/1981-05-19.gif May 19, 1981]], Garfield tries to bring the television along on a camping trip.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Arnold, Gerald, and Grandpa Phil go for a traditional camping experience, and end up down the road from Helga, Phoebe, and Big Bob, who use an RV so huge that it ''makes'' a campsite by running down trees. Arnold and especially Gerald are envious of the luxuries the other camp has, but Phil's survival advice comes in handy when both groups (minus Phil) go on a hike and all the electronic appliances Bob brought (and arrange the whole trip to test) malfunction.

* ''White Plume Mountain'', a Dungeons & Dragons novel based on the classic module, has several characters who were outfitted by their religious orders for the expedition to the titular mountain by their religious orders. As such, they have pack animals laden with fine wines, expensive silks, and other frivilous things that are completely unnecessary, and on top of that they're all decked out in heavy, noisy armor they're unaccustomed to wearing. The protagonist, The Justicar, despises them for it, and before they reach the mountain he gets his partner Escalia the fairy wizard to disperse their pack animals with magic, forcing them to continue on with only what they can carry.
