What makes those resort and safari trips "luxury" is not the tents themselves, which tend to be standard canvas wall tents. It is all of the furnishings and appointments that the outfitters add to them, like carpets, beddings, tables and chairs, generator powered lighting, etc.
You can get finest quality canvas tents in just about every size and style from this company:

And this company makes geodesic yurt style tents that are quite luxurious:

"Luxury" is a relative term. If I was camping out at higher elevations in bad weather I would not want to be in one of these canvas tents. For me in that situation, a high-quality compact nylon rigid frame mountaineering tent would be more comfortable and more "luxurious".

Hey :)
Yes you are right the best way to get Wimbledon tickets is to camp overnight. I know it may sound dreadfull but seriously it is amazing and the most fun especially if you go with friends. I would reccomend going the first day of wimbledon so that you don't miss any tennis because you are in the queue all day. So if you are going on the first day which is Monday the 20th June 2011 make sure you get there on Sunday 19th BEFORE 12:00 in the afternoon. When you get there you will set up your tent and one of the stuards will give you a queue card. The first 500 people will get Centre Court tickets, people between 500-999 will get No.1 Court tickets and people between 1000-1500 will get No.2 Court tickets. I was there at exatly 12:00 and I was number 420 which is a bit risky although I still got Centre Court tickets, try and be there before 12.
The stuards around the queue are really helpfull and will tell you all you need to know. There are really clean toilet facilities, and they are perfect, trust me I am a clean freak! lol. Wimbledon Park is beautiful and make sure you go for a walk around the lake and you will fall in love with the place, just like I did.
Bring stuff to do like Ipod, PSP, DS or magazines, newspapers or books to read because it can kind of get boring if you don't keep yourself entertained. Bring friends too but only if they are interested in tennis because otherwise they will hold you up. Hopefully it will be good weather like it was for me when I was queueing because then you can sunbathe!
Once you get your queue card, you can walk around but MAKE SURE you keep it with you because if it is stolen or lost you have no proof about where you are in the queue. I went for a walk around Southfields village with my Dad and had a very pleasent time and got something to eat in a Pizza restaurent.
We then walked down tworads the Wimbledon grounds and although you can't actually get in, you can still have a look around the outside and I actually saw some players, MARIA KIRILENKO, TOMAS BERDYCH, LUCIE SAFAROVA, IGOR ANDREEV and got photos and autographs from them. Make sure you get a huge tennis ball so you can get autographs.
This should really fill your day. Now it is probably around 6 or 7 so go back to your tent and have a drink and talk to some of the people beside you. They are usually really friendly and if you know a lot about tennis you should have a hell of a lot to talk about!
The stuards wake you up at around six but to be honost, I would wake up around five because there is always a big queue for the bathrooms for brushing teath. Also I cannot stress more on this, GET INTO THE BAG QUEUE EARLY!!!!!!!!!!! If you have luggage you can leave them at the top of the queue for £1 per bag and seriously I nearly missed the Centre Court tickets being given out because I was queueing there for almost 2 hours. But if you get there early and be one of the first you should be fine.The reason why the stuards wake you up so early is because there are some people coming in to joint the queue in the morning for just Ground passes and there are 6,000 of them. You have to pack up your tent and belongings to make room for them.
At around 10 o' clock the stuards will give out rist-bands to the first 500 people who want Centre Court tickets and then so on to the next 500 people for No.1 Court and then the next 500 for No.2 Court. My Dad stayed in the queue while I was waiting two hours to drop off the bags and I had to run to join him of where my queue card is and I just got there while they were giving out the wrist bands so if I had got there two minutes later I would have missed the Centre Court wristbands so again it is so important that you get to the bag drop off early.
Whoah, that took so long but I enjoyed doing it! Have so much fun and enjoy yourself!
