Glam Camping For Those Who Love Camping In Comfort

Glam camping, better known as glamping, has become a big thing. It’s a type of camping for people who want to get out and enjoy nature but who do not want to be uncomfortable in any way. Glam camping can be anything from taking along a few extra creature comforts with you to actually booking a glamping “tent” at a resort.

Glam Camping – 5 Way to Help Anyone Enjoy the Great Outdoors

So you want to go camping, but you don’t want to be uncomfortable. Fear not! The days of hearing the phrase, “Suck it up, buttercup” are over! These days, glamping is a totally acceptable thing. Here are some ways that even the less-than-great outdoorsman (or woman, as the case may be) can enjoy the beauty of nature without sacrificing their creature comforts.

Air Mattress

One of the first things anyone in a glamping mindset is going to need is an air mattress. An air mattress ensures that you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep on a nice, cushiony mattress instead of just a sleeping bag on the tent floor like more hard core campers.

Big Tent

A nice big tent is a must. Are you and your significant other taking a camping trip? Well, then bring along a 6 person tent. It will provide plenty of room for moving around and the air mattress I just mentioned.

Generator

One of the things that should be on any glam camping list is a generator. A small generator can provide you with enough power to plug in small appliances like televisions and radios as well as portable fans and other cooling devices to help keep you comfy and blow bugs away. Heck, you can even plug your coffee maker into it.

Propane Cook Top

A propane cook top may not sound like glamping, but hear me out. Rather than only roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over a fire, you can actually cook. In fact, you can cook almost anything. So you’ll be able to have your nice bacon and egg breakfast in the morning along with the coffee you made with your generator. 😉

RV

The ultimate in non-resort glam camping. An RV is THE way to glamp if you want to enjoy nature and be totally 100% comfortable. Most campground areas have RV parks where you can park. That means you can do all your resting and relaxing in a fully contained house on wheels, complete with electricity, ac/heat, and shower. When you’re not kicking back, you can get out and explore nature, secure in the knowledge that you can retreat to your wheeled abode at any moment.

Glam Camping – Because Not Being Hard Core Isn’t a Bad Thing

If you love the outdoors, but you also love to be nice and comfy, then glam camping is for you. You can go for “rustic” glam camping and just bring an extra roomy tent and an air mattress, or you can go whole hog and take an RV. Whatever you choose, glam camping is the absolute best way to enjoy mother nature while still retaining all the creature comforts that some people just don’t want to lose.
