You’ve probably heard of camping—but have you heard of glamping? I know the word sounds a little quirky, but once I tried it, I was hooked. Glamping is basically camping’s cooler, comfier cousin—it combines the freedom of being out in nature with the kinds of luxuries you’d expect from a boutique hotel.
At first, I was hesitant to book my first glamping trip too. But once I gave it a try, I couldn’t believe what I’d been missing. And honestly? I haven’t looked back. I keep going back again and again, and I think you might feel the same once you experience it for yourself. It’s that perfect blend of adventure and comfort—without the cold sleeping bags, setup stress, or zero-internet woes that come with traditional camping.
Here’s Why I Love Glamping (and Why You Might Too):
- You still get nature, but you also get things like real beds, private bathrooms, electricity, heat, running water—even Wi-Fi in many places.
- You don’t have to pack or pitch a tent. I love arriving to a ready-to-enjoy space—it feels like a breath of fresh air (literally).
- You sleep well. Every single time. I’ve had better rest in some glamping tents than in hotel rooms.
- You’re surrounded by the outdoors—whether it’s hiking, kayaking, stargazing, or just sipping coffee with a forest view.
- It’s accessible for everyone. I’ve recommended glamping to families with little kids, older travelers, and folks with mobility issues—and they’ve all loved it.
If you’ve been thinking about giving glamping a try, I say go for it. Once you experience the balance of adventure and ease, you might wonder why you waited so long.
