I heard the term Glamping used when my friends were talking about their camping trip. What does it mean?

When you start camping, you're bound to come across a bunch of new terminologies that you've never heard before. It's a thing outdoor enthusiasts do to signify their membership in this so-called exclusive club. In reality, they're just using words to make something deliberately confusing. Tent footprint is just one of many camping terms you'll come across. You probably already know what it is but heard it referred to by a different name.

It simply refers to a groundsheet, also known as a ground cloth. It's essentially the floor of your tent that protects you from the ground. This can be built into the tent or be separate from it. Your tent footprint is essentially how much space on the ground your tent takes up. The idea is to find an open and flat bit of land that can fit the tent footprint. You can find more information on activities related to camping by visiting The Hobby Craze.
