The Mock Dock

So there’s a new luxury travel phenomenon called Glamping - glamorous camping.  And filthy rich people along with their spoiled rotten children are doing it.  They are sleeping in tents, but the tents include a camp butler to build their fires, maids to attend to their heated comforters, and personal chefs.  So, it’s camping for $710 a night.  Families are also shown how to fish (in prime fishing spots chosen in advance by the staff), and are exposed to wildlife (animals which have been found in advance by the staff - the families are then driven right to them).  The bathrooms, which are just a hop/skip from the tents, have heated slate floors and rain-forest showers with granite counters and fancy soap.
