What the Heck is "Glamping"?!?!?!

A very good question!

"Glamping" means "glamourous camping". It's a silly word, but a pretty neat concept.

Imagine lying in the woods, on a mountain top - smelling the pine-scented air, listening to the crickets and the sounds of a nearby stream.

Imagine lying in the woods, on a mountain top - smelling the pine-scented air, listening to the crickets and the sounds of a nearby stream.

But you're enjoying this scene while lying on a hotel-style bed with fine linens, inside a spacious white tent with carpets, electricity, and running water.

It truly is the best of both worlds!


"Glamping" Can be Luxurious or Simple, but It's NOT Just Camping!

The level of luxury camping varies - it can can be comparable to a boutique hotel, or just a few steps above a sleeping bag under the stars.

Some have hi-tech barbeques to replace that campfire, while others have gourmet restaurants on-site (also in a tent). Some of these tent resorts even offer yoga and massage treatments. Unlike ordinary camping, this is generally NOT the cheap way to go!

What a great way to spend a weekend with your friends - the peace and solitude of the great outdoors offers a wonderful opportunity for rest and renewal (and the yoga classes help!). But you don't have to sacrifice comfort to commune with nature.

Most luxury camping sites, or luxury tent resorts, are in the U.S. and Canada .

But an African safari or tent resort in the Australian Outback could fit the bill, too.

Other Unique Accommodations

If you're looking for unique lodgings but not necessarily in the woods, how about in a lighthouse or a windmill? Or an underwater or ice hotel?
