Glamping By Amber Bouthot
We are tired of hearing about it, but COVID-19 has impacted every area of our lives, including our ability to travel. Because of this, many people turned to camping to get away while remaining safe. But tent camping isn’t for everyone. More and more, people are looking for a “glamping” experience: glamour + camping= glamping! Glamping became popular in the early 2010s, but COVID propelled it to a new level of popularity. It has become so popular that several websites have popped up offering exclusive and luxurious glamping experiences. We’ve outlined some below. If you’re looking to stay a little closer to our region, there are many ways you can create your own glamping experience. Here are some tips: 1. Buy or rent a travel trailer or pop-up camper and reserve a camping site at a local campground or state park. Indiana is blessed with a plethora of them, and a simple Google search will get you on the right track. 2. Outfit your unit with comfy bedding and pillows to make you feel pampered. Just because you are camping doesn’t mean you should be without the comforts of home.

There’s nothing better than relaxing under the stars in a comfy hammock.
