The Style Maven’s Guide to Glamping
What is glamping?
Camping holidays, in the past, meant no comfort and no personal toilets. Walking with a roll of toilet paper under your arm to the communal shared space was the norm. (Can you say, ew?) Today camping is no longer just something for all those who willingly spend their holidays without comfort. Many campsites nowadays are equipped with modern facilities. Some with luxurious wellness centers over water paradises, some with barbers or even dog salons. In other words, the perfect surroundings to rock a natural yet comfortable lifestyle.
Glamping stands for ‘glamorous camping’—and means camping in a comfortable accommodation where everything has been thought of. Wonderfully comfortable beds, a dishwasher and air conditioning, and a private bathroom with separate toilet. Often there are well-equipped kitchens so you can enjoy your favorite foods while camping. Also, the mobile homes and lodges are furnished with atmospheric wooden terraces. Both features and externals are ideally suited for a relaxing holiday.
Who is glamping for?
Campers who have been traveling for years with their own tent or caravan and would like to try something different can opt for a comfortable glamping vacation in between. Likewise, glamping is especially suitable for newcomers to camping as they can leisurely get involved in the camping culture. It is also ideal for holidaymakers who have been spending their vacation in hotels or apartments for a long time and don’t want to switch to a simple tent without any comfort. Glamping lets you live in a stylish lodge that does not lack anything, from soft beds or mattresses to fluffy pillows. The beds are comfortable and you have a kitchen block with an oven and even a dishwasher. These facilities make the big step from a hotel to classic camping holidays a little easier.
What is so special about a glamping vacation?
The big advantage of glamping in contrast to a hotel holiday: the atmosphere at the campsite is friendly and sociable. You can easily get into a conversation with the neighbours and the kids quickly find playmates swimming or playing table tennis. Another advantage is that you can spend the whole day outside. It’s just wonderful to stroll through the campsite in the morning with birds singing and to pick up fresh bread at the camping shop. You are also in for a treat as this type of travel allows you to travel to unique destinations.
Glamping allows you to experience being in nature while enjoying the luxurious and unique decor of your glamping lodge. Additionally, glamping is also much less complicated than camping. You don’t even have to pitch a tent or motorhome to the resort because everything is already within your reach. Try glamping sometime this year and discover how much fun it is!
