Glamping - Luxury Camping

This is more my sort of camping! Luxury Camping or Glamping means you can enjoy the outdoors with some of those home comforts that normal camping means you have to forego!

Have you thought about going camping but thought it might be a bit rough and ready? Well now you can enjoy Glamping or Luxury Camping!

I must admit I enjoy those little touches of luxury when I am away from home. So when someone starts talking about camping, the first images that come to mind involve roughing it up outdoors.

To some extent I guess that is what camping entails. You set of into the great outdoors and set up your own tent outside so you can all enjoy sleeping under the stars!

However, if like me you want to go out and explore the outdoors but would much prefer to leave the rough parts out then Glamping or luxury camping could be for you.

What Is Glamping?

Luxury Camping Explained

Glamping, which is short hand for Glamorous Camping or Luxury camping, gives you all the amenities that you will not normally get when you go camping.

Imagine if you had to go for days without a shower; had to drink lukewarm beverages, or going to the toilet behind a tree. Doesn't sound like much fun does it! When you go Glamping you do away with all those hassles and replace them with comfort and convenience.

But at the same time you still are able to enjoy that great, rustic feel of being in the great outdoors. No more canned baked beans but enjoy instead chef-prepared meals. Replace sleeping bags with luxurious tent accommodation which comes complete with fine linens.

Enjoying the great outdoors without the discomfort and inconvenience in luxury camping is sure to make a happy camper out of anyone.
