What the Heck is "Glamping"?!?!?!A very good question!
"Glamping" is a word that combines "glamour" and "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. 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! The concept of glamping started in the Western U.S. and Canada , and most camping sites are still located there. But there are a few in other parts of the world, also.
The level of luxury varies as well - it can can be truly luxurious, 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 even offer yoga and massage treatments. Unlike ordinary camping, this is 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. Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter for more travel updates and interesting trip ideas!
