Camping Glamour Style

Answer 1

Adventurous travelers that enjoy the great outdoors yet lack a fondness for bugs, leaking tents and smelly sleeping bags may find glamorous camping, also known as glamping, the answer to their fears. Although a relatively new alternative to traditional camping in the United States, glamping derives from the early days of backcountry adventure in Yellowstone National Park and month long safari's throughout Africa.

What is Glamping?

Providing a relaxing atmosphere, high thread count sheets, electrical power and reading lamps, the main focus of glamping resorts is the satisfaction of their guests. Glampers can enjoy all that the great outdoors has to offer while resting their head in comfort within a pre-pitched tent, tepee or yurt while listening to the hoot of owls and gazing at a blanket of stars in the sky.

Ultra-Glamping

Ultra glamping and ultra luxury go hand in hand, from lounging in a platform tent set among a sea of pine trees to soaking up the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. This highly-sought-after form of elite camping is all about big adventure without sacrificing the creature comfortsof home.Many glamping resorts incorporate traditional adventure excursions such as hiking, kayaking, or river rafting for guests of all ages.

Located throughout the world, including Africa, Australia, Thailand and South America, there are alsomany popular glamping destinations in our own backyard. The Paw's Up Resort in Montana boasts a tent suite large enough for the entire family, while the yurt village of Treebones Resort in Big Sur offers spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.

Primitive Glamping

Campers looking to partake in a more budget-conscious glamping experience may find historic cabins offered at state and national parks located throughout the country an ideal compromise between the rustic and the ultra-chic. In addition to cabins, the U.S. Forest Service offers accommodations at historic fire lookouts as an anomalous option for backcountry travelers. Allowing glampers the opportunity to embrace simplicity, fire tower lookouts generally do not have electricity but often provide a mattress and cozy wood burning stove.

Ocean lovers may find the unique experience of staying inside a historic lighthouse to be just the vacation they have been seeking. Often located on public land, there are a number of lighthouses available for rent throughout the United States and across the world.
