Glamping is where camping and glamour/luxury meet. For me, it’s the things I love about a hotel stay but in an outdoor setting; the comfortable bed, the down blankets, hot showers, gourmet food and coffee, a soak in the hot tub, etc. Yes, I said hot tub! There’s a portable hot tub complete with bubble jets on this list of luxury camping gear. This isn’t primitive camping with just the basics that you pack in and out. It’s far from it!
You can go camping and/or glamping just about anywhere. There are companies like Under Canvas and Glamping Hub that allow you to show up to a site and have a ready-made glamping experience. But, you shouldn’t have to travel far and wide to enjoy a glamping trip. Just a few of these glamping essentials can really elevate your trip. They also make great gifts for outdoor lovers in your life.
