Want to be a happy camper? The hottest camping trend of this year and next!
from Suite Dreams Wellness Travel · host Barbara Tuckett
A few years ago I was introduced to something that is the BEST! It includes the joy of adventuring in the outdoors PLUS not having to do all of the work of camping. PLUS luxury and comfort. It’s called glamping (glamorous camping).Why glamping?• We’re all going stir crazy and need to get out of our houses and towns• Many countries are still closed—and we’re all not sure we’re ready to visit them anyway• An RV is a big investment, and a lot of work• Buying a bunch of camping gear sounds expensive and possibly pointless, if we don’t use it a lot• Glamping is like a luxury hotel in the great outdoors• It combines private lodging without sharing a lobby, elevator, or hallway• When glamping, you have resort-like amenities, your own private space, lots of activities, and food that is either ordered or cooked by you (but provided by them) What does it look and feel like?Although it’s unique for each destination, most glamping involves some type of luxuriously appointed tent (a huge canvas house parked on a permanent platform) with the type of bathroom you’d find in a 4 or 5-star hotel, running water, fine linens, porches, firepits and other rustic amenities.Some glamping spots are glamping-only, while others are part of a resort hotel compound. Some are yurts, some are cabins, some are “tiny houses,” and some are treehouses. But the common denominator is luxury plus making camping accessible to even the most inexperienced outdoors person. Most glamping locations allow pets.There are glamping locations across the U.S. In this episode I highlight five glamping resorts:Colorado: Delores, in a restored ghost townMissouri: Camp Long Creek in the Ozark MountainsMaine: Mt. Desert Island near Bar Harbor and Acadia National ParkUtah: Greater Zion areaWyoming: near Jackson Hole, WyomingJoin me to learn more about luxury camping.
