Pass the Bubbly, Pilgrim! Glamping brings the finer things to camping.
Ah, the Great Outdoors! Imagine
the warm sun on your skin and fresh air filling your lungs. And let’s not forget the buzz of the mosquitoes swarming your face and neck while you try to sleep, as the talcum-like sand-and-dirt layer coating your tent works its way into your hair, nostrils and eyes. Cue the water drip through the rain fly. Traditional camping can be one of the more rewarding things in life—there’s
something special about the selfsufficiency and simplicity that comes with doing things fast and packing light. Still, there are times you want to enjoy the outdoors with full creature comforts and even a dose of coddling. Especially if you’re camping with young children or similar companions who teeter on the edge of fussy. If it sounds like we’re preaching to your pampered choir, maybe it’s time to give glamping a try.
