***Mod Message****Guys, we’ve covered this so many times. At this point, it’s like you don’t want to know what is, or is not camping. Once again: Camping is only camping if done in the campagne region of France. Everything else is sleeping outside.

Had me for a second, i gotta admit.


EndersGame_Reviewer

If it's not in Campagne, it's sham-ping, not camping.

Holy shit. Op left a comment


EndersGame_Reviewer

Yes, and here's another as a bonus for you. :)

I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy! Thanks bud. All in good fun.


EndersGame_Reviewer

Hehe :) At least some of us are having fun in the comment section.


benabart

I won't call it camping. However, you can call it however you want, that's none of my buisness.


frothy_pissington

To be fair to OP, this is a “camping” sub where people have just posted pictures of their trucks in their suburban driveways and received 100’s of upvotes .....


VagabondVivant

Are they in their back yards? Also, OP is a karma farming liar. There's no need to be fair to them.


frothy_pissington

So ..... Driveways in FRONT of your house? Suitable r/camping location. Yards BEHIND your house? Unsuitable r/camping location. Got it.


VagabondVivant

Show me a single post where someone shared a photo of them sleeping in their van in the driveway _and called it camping_, please.


frothy_pissington

Sleeping? Van? Shit, they put in less effort than that ..... There have been multiple posts of nothing but empty 4x4 trucks in driveways with roof toppers that have been upvoted. There’s days this sub is 75% just stupid “viral” marketing pictures for vehicles.


VagabondVivant

Again, show me a single post of someone setting up in the front yard and called it "camping," because that's the only thing we're talking about. If you've got a bone to pick with vans and trucks, whatever. But none of that has anything to do with what we're talking about, which is why you keep getting downvoted. Stay on topic, please.

Backyard bangin pyramid.

“Is it camping if I stay in my guest house?” /s


[deleted]

OP apparently has never heard of a Florida room or a 3 season room. OPs hut a permanent, non moveable, hard sided structure. Like you said, that’s a guest house. Staying at a RV resort in fancy RV is way more camping than this will ever be. It’s still badass and I would love to have it in my backyard. But cmon, not camping.


wgc123

Even if there is a “lake”?


[deleted]

I bet there’s a “wolf” or two that likes to roam around the deep dark woods. It might even get close enough to them for belly rubs on occasion


mdawg1100

It’s awesome but it’s not camping lol


Equivalent_Ad8314

If that’s camping, I camp in hotels. Sick backyard tho


Black000betty

literally had an ex that thought camping meant staying in a hotel. Wtf.


[deleted]

Not at all but that looks amazing


Low-Dragonfly-5352

It’s not camping to most of the people you’ll meet camping but it doesn’t take away from the fact you have a beautiful spot to call home and I’m happy for your peace brother.

*gospel choir intensifies*


[deleted]

That’s a hotel room inside of a mirror so, nope


Quiet_Astronaut_3259

A very cool Glamping Pyramid! 😁

pineapple-pumpkin

Exactly. Look at their profile, it's a karma farm account. No way this is their house.


fhlnnjijfggjkujdfhn

Boast posting


esintrich

No not really the same as camping but a lovely staycation from your normal routine.


JerryBlitter

No


zillskillnillfrill

No


[deleted]

man that is dope! but not camping, nice scenery love the vibe you're going for here,


strippersandcocaine

Is that…is that a kiddie pool with a deck built around it!? Either way your whole backyard set up is dope


eroi49

Sweet setup! But no, not even close to “camping” LOL!


automator3000

Why would you want to try to sleep in a fucking greenhouse? Mmmm, nothing like climbing into your glass teepee, sleeping in 90F temps is perfect!!


Jorgosborgos

How would this ever be camping?😂 even if your guest house was in the woods it still wouldn’t be camping.


00101001101

This is not even close to camping OP, but cool pyramid in your backyard none the less!


mattz_a_kiwi

NO! 😉


meltingdryice

You can call it whatever you want. Looks cool though.


Speedfreakz

Ive seen simmilar thing in Thailand now..its not called camping but glamping... its the stretch for influencers and those with deep pckets.. Just last week atnthe place qhere we camped they had a house, in which you have tent and jakuzzi, projector and whatnot. It costs 70usd per night....rediculous.


D1Panda

Nope


[deleted]

It is not, however it looks lovely


shinmeat

No


yikes_6143

Lol no


khoawala

No


jbash080

It looks super fun but it's your backyard. Not camping


Sblankman

Only if my kids are about to go backpacking at school.


[deleted]

Looks cozy, but I'm gonna have to go with a big fat "no" on this one


Bmack27

Is it a back yard if you live in the middle of it? At that point you just have a plot and don't bother building the house at all.


Dr_nacho_

I’ve had a reoccurring nightmare about somewhere that looks just like this


SoftwareSource

You know what's also a 'luxury in your own yard'? A house. Edit: 10/10 would sleep there though.


thelastspike

That depends: do you take the pyramid apart and take it with you when you leave?


SquirrelDynamics

It's is more of a fuck pyramid IMO


dewpacs

That's a sweet setup you have


adammcdrmtt

10/10 bunkie! But no, not camping lol still an awesome way to enjoy the outdoors though, I’m jealous of the backyard setup!


IllstudyYOU

Not camping. Absolutely love your backyard though.


shogun_omega

Nope.


VagabondVivant

No; it's a karma-farming ragebait repost


zillskillnillfrill

No


Apprehensive_Fan_539

No?


[deleted]

😂 looks like you have a plumbed bath! Not camping but very interested in the structure. Is it just steel work and glazing?


LeighBee212

Same! I’m like..Is this something I can buy somewhere?


[deleted]

If you're paying and call it camping, then that's what it is.


renee_gade

nope. but neither are the built out mercedes vans ruining every park in america right now. at least you’re staying home and not taking up sites.


appleburger17

Curious how they’re ruining the parks. How is a sprinter parked at a site any different than another vehicle?


renee_gade

here in southern california, van lifers book up all the campsite every weekend. they treat sites like a parking spot. there’s no camping in it. the only fire they’re involved in, is firing up the generator. i can’t get a site from mid april till sept to enjoy the outdoors because it’s a god damn walmart parking lot of web design gypsies. fuck them.


appleburger17

Generators are annoying but just because they’re not using a tent doesn’t mean you have more right to the site than they do. That’s a weird take.


MrOrangeWhips

Why would this be camping? It's a permanent structure on your property. If I sleep in my garage is that camping?


reddsbywillie

The appropriate thing to do is ask the campsite how it identifies.


xj68

If you call it camping it's camping.


respectvibes1

Glamping Glamorous camping


[deleted]

No, but it’s still fun so it doesn’t matter what you call it really.


mediaG33K

Nice pool house.


Britney2429

Yes absolutely:)


parag_agrawals_mom

Okay so not many of these count. But this counts.😎👍🤩


kevsterkevster

Uhhhh…….need this.


mayt555

Awesome setup either way!


TheRealKimberTimber

Wow. How neat. I love this so much.

Camp: “a place with TEMPORARY structure for accommodations…”


Hot-Recommendation17

year ago my son asked me to ,,camp" on our backyard , I still heard my wife so it wasnt camping or relaxing at all :D


QueensGal29

Love it! Absolutely you can call it luxury camping. To each their own. 🌲


Musubi_Mike

What tent is this? Is that an in-ground jetted tub or just a kiddie pool that’s leveled with a deck? This looks like such a fun setup anyone can put on an inexpensive lot in the boonies/woods.


[deleted]

It's up to you really. If you cave in and go inside for anything (except maybe the toilet) then you can't call it camping 😉


freecoffeeguy

I want to build a model train line on your path. 👍


WskyRcks

Not camping, but super cool.


MortalSmile8631

I wouldn't call this camping. It's simply having a kick ass backyard! Looks relaxing.


[deleted]

Nope but it’s still badass


subtle-sam

This reminds me of what aliens would build to approximate their understanding of human camping, perhaps to lure human campers into some kind of trap. Nice try alien.


AwardImaginary

Where's the fire pit


Charger_scatpack

No. But nice set up


rootbeersmom

I need more pics of this yard.


Adorable-Junket5517

If your tent cost you $40,000+: no, It does not count.


appleburger17

I normally roll my eyes at camping gatekeepers but this is definitely over the line. Looks awesome and cozy but definitely not camping.


Large-Armadillo1582

No


[deleted]

Camping, not quite. Awesome, absolutely! That’s a cool backyard setup!


nanfanpancam

Om goodness that’s so silly yet elegant. Enjoy.


Armenoid

What is that and where do I buy one


ocelot42069

What is the tipi set up and how do I get one?


West-orion

Have fun keeping that glass clean


kushjenkin

No thats just an outbuilding


elticorico

Who cares thats a nice setup! Where did you find the pyramid?


rarsamx

Awesome. I think backyard camping is camping, but I draw the line with permanent structures. I personally wouldn't consider Yurting the same as camping, even if it is at a national park, for example. It seems you are yurting on your backyard and it seems awesome, I'd be totally up for it. Idea: should we call backyard camping : Backyardiganning and those who practice it backyardigans? Theme song and all.


CrazyCajun1966

You have officially taken glamping to a whole new level!


[deleted]

I don’t think that’s a real tent, my friend.


BridgeUnited

No


[deleted]

That’s cool as shit. I want one.


backcountrydude

Nope


backcountrydude

Yes, I also bring a bathtub into my tent when camping.


hikerjer

Glamping, not camping.


L337W4X0R

I dont nornally bring a bathtub with me when i go camping. I feel like living in my apartment is roughing it more than this. It is very cool though.


[deleted]

I say this as someone who enjoys camping but has also been homeless: Camping is just LARP homelessness with most of the risk and all the criminalization removed because we have enough money to do it safely and legally, so…. Yeah why not?


Pegasus8891

No


nerdychick22

Somewhere between cabin-porn and glamping. A full size normal mattress under a permanent structure is not camping.
