Let’s go glamping!

Glamp•ing noun

Outdoor camping with amenities and comforts (such as beds, electricity and access to indoor plumbing) not usually used when camping. A blend of the words glamour and camping.

People who are hard-core campers love the idea of living off the land, braving the elements and going without running water, bathrooms or electricity. But if you’re the type that likes to get back to nature without all the hardships, you’re probably more of a glamper.

Glampers are foodies who enjoy gourmet goods they bring from home or the market. Tablecloths, plates and silverware ensure that lunch and dinner are civilized. No dehydrated food or catching dinner to cook over an open fire for glampers!

And glampers don’t like sleeping in a tent on the hard ground or under the stars in a sleeping bag. They prefer a cozy camper with air conditioning – or at least a tent with air mattresses and plug-in capabilities. Google RV or motorhome rentals in your area for an affordable, one-time way to try out this fabulous adventure!

For the ultimate glamping experience, be sure to have all the things you need before you leave home to keep you comfortable in the great outdoors. Essentials include bug spray, flashlights, toiletries, sunblock, medications, towels, rain gear, first-aid kits and of course, matches—especially if you want to build a campfire, light a grill or light a lantern.
