Summertime days are longer, the nights are shorter, and there just seems to be a bit of summer magic flowing in the air. Many people spend this season on family vacations to faraway lands, swimming with friends, or attending barbecue after barbecue.
Many others turn their summertime into a camping adventure – grabbing a tent and a backpack and heading out into the woods to get lost without a care. Unfortunately, not everyone is so keen on the idea of giving up a bed for a sleeping bag on the ground. Who says you can’t make it a memorable, fun, and extravagant experience?
You can! Just celebrate this beautiful time of year by getting a tent rental to glamp!
What is glamping?
Glamping is a combination of glamour and camping. It is perfect for those individuals who have always wanted to be a bit outdoorsy, but aren’t. Think about it – camping isn’t for everyone. Its outdoors with bugs and dirt. Yikes! All the conveniences of normal day to day life are removed.
This is where glamping comes in.
Glamping doesn’t take away all your indoor, modern-day conveniences. There is no sleeping on the cold, hard ground with mosquitos buzzing around. And, no, you absolutely do not need to eat a can of beans over the campfire for dinner.
Its outdoors.
Its glamorous.
You can be fancy.
Its cozy.
Its glamping!
Where to glamp?
Now that you know you can happily handle a night out glamping, where are you going to set up? Glamping can happen anywhere. You can always…
- Take to the woods and find a serene location. However, unless you are prepared, this may lead you to roughing it a bit more than you may want to.
- Pick a destination and check out local campgrounds. This will provide your will available facilities, making outdoor living a bit more enjoyable. Tip: Make sure to research and read reviews before you make your final decision.
- Stick close to home and pitch a tent in your own backyard. In fact, for your first attempt, this may be your best option. After all, being close to home has its perks. For example, if you forget something, it’s no big deal – just walk into the house! Not to mention that being close to your indoor plumbing should be enough reason to stay close to home – campground facilities just can’t compare! This is a great option for a test run on glamping before you take a more adventurous leap.
Glamping involves a tent and a camper with an eye for décor and the finer things in life. Setting up in the middle of the woods with fluffy pillows and your own personal espresso machine may make some hardcore campers chuckle.
Decide how daring you want to be as a glamper, then, you can get started!
How to glamp?
If you have decided to go glamping, you need to know all the wonderful things that can make your comfortable adventure complete. Whether you decide to stay close to home or venture out into the unknown, these are some ideas to show you how you can finely glamp no matter where you are:
- A tent. You will need one. The size and type will be determined by where you are going and how many people you will be sharing the tent with. Because of this, choosing to rent a tent may make more sense. Besides – you don’t know if you will even find the great outdoors enjoyable or you may never go again! Renting a tent saves you money and can get you just the tent you are looking for to meet all your needs.
- A means to maintaining personal hygiene. It’s important, of course. Do some research and find the camping sink that will fit your needs. (Yes, there is a such sink.) These units allow you to wash hands, brush your teeth, etc. Another desirable choice is to purchase a camper toilet. These give you a delightful place to sit your bum without having to just hover over a hole in the ground.
- A travelling bar. Just because you are on an outdoor adventure doesn’t mean you cannot bring Johnnie and Jim with you! You can purchase one, or just pack up all your bar necessities in a tidy container for a glamping party!
- Blow up furniture is not just for beds anymore! You can purchase a blow-up couch, loveseat, chaise, chair, etc. In fact, if your tent will allow, you can turn the inside into a comfortable living room! Put a soft, fuzzy throw rug in the middle and – boom – home sweet home.
- After utilizing the travelling bar, you are going want some coffee when the sun comes up. Find yourself a handheld coffee or espresso maker. Be prepared to get some desiring stares as you brew.
- You will want light after the sun goes down. Purchase some solar-powered string lights or any solar powered light, for that matter.
There are ways to make even the most unpleasant moments more pleasant. Search camping stores, the camping section in local discount stores, or your own imagination to see how to handle any inconvenience you may face.
