I did a few days at a Catholic/Jesuit retreat center about a year ago, and part of it was an intentional unplugging from not just technology and work/family responsibilities, but _also_ the ability for me to fill my brain with the kinds of planning and prep work that consumes me when I'm in tourist mode or on an active vacation. Actually having to sit in your thoughts and think about things without distraction is a pretty important thing to periodically do.
But I also love taking my kids camping, hiking, biking, etc, and that's also a good break from the internet, but I think my point is just that they're not the same and there's totally room for both.
Thats a different activity, car camping where aborts and doing other things are easy to do. Really I guess the problem is that most people considering glamping "camping" vs "go 20 miles into the woods and set up camp for a few days" Of course car camping doesn't allow you to disconnect, its easy to run away if you need to.
The camping Im talking about is the type where you cannot do anything without requiring significant effort to abort.
Its like being on a thru-hike. Once you are several days away from humanity, there really isn't anything to think about but continuing to walk, one step at a time.
