Have you ever wanted to have an outdoor experience and get away from it all in the countryside? Well, some people have always wanted to do this, but are uncomfortable with the idea of “roughing it” in a traditional tent or campground.

So, what has risen up as one of the most popular travel trends in recent years? Well, glamping, of course!

Glamping is a new form of rural travel in which people spend their time in the great outdoors in a setting with amenities and facilities that are a step above your normal campground experience. From power outlets to king-sized beds, a glamping experience has nothing to do with the traditional experience of sleeping while freezing cold in a sleeping bag on the ground.

Not all glamping accommodations are as luxurious and expensive as you might think. In fact, semi-permanent cloth “tents” with comfortable furniture and beds but little other amenities are a common way to glamp.

They offer comfort and a way to camp that’s a step above the traditional style, but still offer guests the essence of the great outdoors.

So, try glamping and you might just enjoy your outdoor experience even more than you thought you would!
