Everybody has a definition for “bush” camping. Just to clarify what Xplore! is all about:
Camping: this is where you put up your own campsite – tents, offroad trailers and offroad caravans
- Formal camping = platkar friendly with the “5-star hotel-on-wheels caravan”, typical resort-type campsites, full / luxury / private ablution facilities, numbered or allocated sites, electricity and water at every site, larger campgrounds with sites next to (or on top of) each other, lots of onsite entertainment, swimming pools, onsite restaurant and shop, etc.
- Bush camping = SUV friendly, but preferably in your 4x4 - basic ablution facilities with flush toilet and hot shower, small, secluded camp site situated in a bush surrounding / nature reserve, limited electricity and water, semi self-sufficient
- Wild camping = 4x4 only as you will drive on off-road tracks - very basic to no ablution facilities with pit toilet or none, wood-fired geyser or none, no electricity, totally secluded in the bush, mostly to fully self-sufficient. What you bring in, you take out as well (rubbish).
Glamping: this is where you arrive in your platkar, SUV or yuppy 4x4 with low-profile tyres - lodges, luxury tented accommodation, chalets, and luxury campsites.
