The Magic of Glamping

Camping usually involves bugs, tents, having to sleep on a bed made of twigs, the possibility of bears or skip showering all weekend. But there’s a new fascinating trend when it comes to camping this summer – Glamorous Camping or Glamping, where camping is combined with style and luxury!! To truly dwell on the beauty of the bright night sky and bond with nature, you’ve got to get out of the city, deep into the woods! With Glamping, you can sleep under the stars, gaze at the sparkling Milky Way, enjoy a retreat to a comfy bed, electricity, more integrated cooking facilities, rugs, fairy lights, and even a private bathroom. You remain close to nature and can spend time outdoors cooking a barbecue or reading a book in the sunshine. And like typical American weather if it rains you can head indoors too! Glamping resorts are normally located in a bucolic setting to help you fully discover nature and also let you enjoy the perks and comforts of a fully serviced hotel. The tents are already set, spacious and nicely furnished, similar to a regular hotel room. You can adore the great outdoors and bond together with your family and friends without “living rough” in the wilderness.


Glamping is ideal for venturers who love the rugged outdoors but don’t want to sacrifice on their conveniences. If you think you’re not the one to rough it in nature, well, you don’t have to! Glamping combines the great outdoors with the high-end amenities to make for a comfortable and contented vacation. While the combination of glamour and camping was first used back in 2005, its addition to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in early 2018 is proof that travelers’ predilection for seeing the serene outdoors while also having access to running water and air conditioning is no longer just a trend. Not convinced? Well, these beautiful places will make you want to glam up your first camping trip!
