‘Glamping’ is a trendy mix of camping and glamor, where you enjoy nature but with luxury and comfort. This trend is becoming very popular and has changed our thoughts about camping. Our article, The Rise of ‘Glamping’: Luxury Camping Gear Guide, will show you the ins and outs of this trend so you can try it yourself!
How do you make camping feel luxurious?
Transforming a traditional camping experience into a luxurious “glamping” escapade involves careful planning and selecting quality equipment and amenities that provide comfort, style, and convenience. Let’s delve into some aspects in more detail:
-
Upgraded Accommodations
Accommodations are the most significant difference between traditional camping and glamping. Glamping accommodations range from high-end tents with ample space and built-in beds to yurts, tepees, or tree houses. Some options like fully-equipped RVs, airstreams, and cabins offer amenities like a kitchenette, proper beds, and sometimes even a bathroom, delivering the convenience and comfort of a hotel room amid nature.
-
Quality Bedding
Restful sleep is crucial and can significantly influence your overall camping experience. Invest in an elevated air mattress or camping cot to avoid the hard and often uneven ground. Top it with quality bedding—such as a comfortable sleeping bag or even regular bed sheets and comforters for colder weather. Don’t forget plush pillows and extra blankets for added warmth and comfort.
-
Gourmet Outdoor Cooking
Instead of traditional camping food, up your game by planning a menu and bringing the necessary cooking gear. Portable camping stoves or grills can allow you to cook various foods. A high-end cooler or a portable fridge can help keep your food fresh and drinks chilled. Also, consider bringing a French press for fresh coffee in the morning or a portable spice rack to add extra flavor to your meals.
