Guide to Glamping

Taking friends or family on a getaway this summer? Have you considered Glamping?

WIKIPEDIA:
“Glamping is a blend of the words glamour and camping and describes a style of camping with amenities and, in some cases, resort-style services not usually associated with “traditional” camping. Glamping has become particularly popular with 21st century tourists seeking the luxuries of hotel accommodation alongside the escapism and adventure recreation of camping.”

In short: “glamorous camping”. The term became popular in 2005 and now has hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts worldwide.

A lot of of enjoy nature, but don’t enjoy roughing it. Never scratch poison ivy’s itch again!

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Really anything that makes you feel comfortable.

Tents – no, not your typical canvas w a stick tent. Glamping tents are more like luxury villas – with canvas walls.
