Glamping is the New Camping

Glamp·ing

/ˈɡlampiNG/

Noun

-a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping.

Glamping is in! Glamping (also short for glamorous camping) is taking the act of camping and just making it more comfortable for you and your family. There's plenty of ways to make regular camping more pleasant and there's nothing wrong with that. Why rough it in the cold and uncomfortable wilderness when you have other options that still give you that amazing camping experience? Make traditional camping a bit better by learning the benefits of glamping. 

What Makes Glamping Better?

Say you want to go camping, but you just can't come to terms with the fact that you have to sleep outside, on a cold night, in a tent. That's where one of the main benefits of glamping comes in. Now imagine this, you are in the wilderness surrounded by beautiful nature, however you are in a climate controlled shelter with a comfortable bed. Sounds a bit better right? Each van has a master bed with a memory foam mattress to make sure you get a great night sleep. Say goodbye to the cold hard ground! You can even take advantage of the heat and AC in our Outdoor AdVANture Vans if you are at a campsite with the proper plug-ins. 

Cooking is also easier when you take on the glamping lifestyle. Whether you're having trouble starting a fire or simply can't because of a fire ban, there's no need to worry about how you're going to cook your meals with an Outdoor AdVANture Van camping experience! Each of our vans has a sink, stove, refrigerator, microwave, cooking utensils, cutlery, plates, bowls, cups, pots, pans and coffee press. It will almost be like you're cooking in a full kitchen in the middle of an exquisite campground and that's the whole point of glamping. To make it feel like home even though you're getting the enjoyment of the great outdoors!

Disconnecting from the world can definitely be invigorating, but for whatever reason maybe it is unrealistic. Electronic entertainment is also a part of glamping. There's nothing wrong with winding down by watching one of your favorite shows, or even watching a movie with the family on an electronic device at the end of a long day of hiking and exploring! Luckily for you our AdVANture Vans have electric outlets to fit all your portable device needs! 

ProTip - Be sure to download anything you want to watch on your phone or device before you leave to go camping as you might not have a cell phone connection at your campsite. And, don't forget the popcorn!

Conclusion

Glamping is here, and it's here to stay. I say embrace it! There's no reason you can't have an exciting camping trip with some of the comforts of home sweet home. Sometimes traditional camping can be a little intimidating, but glamping is an activity that everyone can enjoy.
