For many people the concept of camping sounds like a great idea. Who would not like pitching a tent in the wilderness, sleeping under billions of bright stars, and becoming one with nature? The problem often comes when adventurers realize that there is nowhere to shower, there are often a lot of bugs, and the complexity of where to answer when nature calls in the middle of the night.
Thanks to “glamping,” a more glamorous version of camping, places like those listed here have made it possible to provide a memorable outdoor experience for those who still want to enjoy the idea of camping, but need a little pampering, convenience and fine comforts of home.
