What is glamping and how do I do it? This is a question you have probably never asked yourself, but we took the time to answer it anyway. Glamping is “glamorous camping.” Meaning you are in an air-conditioned unit and able to shower as much as you want.

Now that it’s finally starting to cool off, it’s the perfect time to get outside and take advantage of the weather. For those of you who profess to like the outdoors, but actually hate being outdoors, “glamping” might be the weekend getaway activity for you. Spend as much or as little time with nature as you want in these rustic spaces that combine the luxuries of indoor amenities with peace and quiet of secluded camping.
