Glamp RedEye ran an Associated Press story today about top travel trends for 2009, according to ad agency JWT.

One of the top trends is glamping, or glamorous camping, "where a tour company provides comfy bedding and nice meals so you don't have to rough it while experiencing remote or wild places."

Here's a New York Times article about glamping.

I've never been glamping, and I've only been camping once. I'm pretty much Smokey the Bear's worst nightmare. On a camping trip near Gainesville, Fla., in 2004, I burned a hole in my pants with a smores stick and attracted loads of spiders while picking sludge out of the Suwanee River.

Have you ever been glamping?
