The wooden deck is a weird element to bring into it. In the US decks are sometimes there for conservancy reasons. They're present along parts of the Appalachian trail.

I might instead draw the line based on whether members of your party are putting it up and taking it down as part of the trip.

But I could also see electricity being a reasonable dividing line. Like a cabin several miles from where you can get a motorized vehicle might be more camping than a tent in your backyard that you ran an extension cord and a TV out to.

I'm ok with others drawing lines elsewhere though.
