Ten Can’t Miss Glamping Experiences

Forget about shlepping a tent and sleeping bag to your next nature destination. Glamping is the glamorous version of camping and people all over the world are raving about it from avid outdoors people to celebrities and large families. It’s a great way to experience the great outdoors while still having the comforts of home. We love it because its brings you to places that big hotels just can’t take you. Generally glamping also uses less power and creates less waste than a typical hotel or resort and allows you to get closer than you ever imagined with the sounds and sights of nature. Glamping resorts have popped up all over the world, from the plains of Africa, to dreamy beaches in Europe and Mountain side retreats in the Alps. Here are a few of our favorite.
