Millennials Explain Why Is Luxury Camping So Popular

 Glamping may look like something exclusive and as an activity for a small group of people. But actually, each year more and more people enjoy glamping. This business has been on the rise and is slowly but surely hypnotizing the outdoor lovers’ community and has become an “it” thing. 

Glamping is a whole new camping experience, that has some on the edge about it, but the millennials sure know what the deal about it is. To make glamping make sense to us and to see what it actually entails we have asked millennials What is all the rave about glamping?

Anyone can become a glamper. If you enjoy ranches, coasts, and forests, you can partake in glamping as well. In case you have enjoyed luxury and camping at the same time, then you are already a glamper. 

Enjoying the fresh air in the forest or sightseeing from the top of a mountain and looking out on the coast can be glamorous and certainly, it will make you a glamper. 

Outdoor luxury and glamour = Glamping

Some may say that glamping loses the point of camping. If we do not set up our own tent or a hammock are we actually camping? And why should we make camping glamorous?

Glamping takes the best of both worlds, camping and vacationing, and blends it all into one. Outdoor experiences have been made into luxury adventures encompassing both the amenities and the nature we want to experience. 

Why choose glamping?

Glampers have said that they choose glamping because it gives them a luxury and more unique experience than camping. Plus it comes with all the amenities and services that we do not get with traditional camping. The majority of people do want to get outside but do not want to sacrifice comfort and luxury. So sleeping in a warm and cosy bed for them beats the wet and cold tent that they would have to set up themselves. 

Glamping or glamorous camping is also known as boutique camping. So if you come across this term or some boutique camping destinations, be sure that you will have the glamping adventure you signed up for. 

There is no one way to glamp instead there s a multitude of options, you can find anything that you desire. 

We may not be able to say in one sentence what glamping is, but we can say what it is not. Glamping is not traditional camping, you do not have to buy a tent, find a spot for it and set it up yourself, there is no extra luggage, no sleeping bags, pillows, or blankets that you have to lug up a mountain or through a forest. 

Your glamorous camping adventure is not restricted by the destination or the weather. You can glamp all year round, and each time the glamping experience will be something new and unique. 

Glamping experiences are very diverse and dynamic. There are thousands of locations around the world and many ways how you can glamp. 

In our childhood many of us enjoyed treehouses, we told stories in them, slept in them, and played make-believe. You can enjoy your time in a treehouse during your glamping trip. Treehouses are just one way to glamp. There are also cabins and luxury tents more known as glamping accommodations. But you can also enjoy specific types of tents called yurts, repurposed vans, cars, trains, and tiny houses. All the glamping accommodations also come with amenities. From having your toilet with good plumbing to having already made meals and organized activities to take part in it will be like you are staying in your home or a hotel. This will be the most carefree and nature-friendly experience you have taken part in. Teepees and themed destinations are other benefits in choosing your glamping site. There are some uniquely decorated teepees to spend your time in as well as Western-themes locations where you can feel like you are a part of a cowboy movie. 

Glamping gives as many options as we desire, from your glamping cabin in the winter, to a luxury glamping tent on the coast in the summer, each of your glamping journeys will be a story of its own. The best thing of all about glamping is that it also takes care of nature and waste. Old vans, trains, and school buses have been repurposed for some glamping destinations and in this way, we also take care of our habitat. Nobody tore down a forest or playground to build a hotel, instead, they used everything that already existed to make glamping unique and eco-friendly.

Glamping is for families too!

Once we think about traditional camping with our families, most of us give up just at the thought of it. Camping with small children or larger families can be a hassle, and with all the things that we have to bring it might seem like we are moving from our house for a few days, and for most of us, it is not worth the trouble. 

Glamping does fix all our problems and solves all the troubles and concerns we may have. With already set up accommodations like tents or tiny houses and yurts, it knocks a few things from our to-do list. The amenities that these accommodations come with, like a toilet, and already made food, solve any other concerns we may have. 

These are just a few things that make glamping a perfect experience for families. Our family members simply need to pack their clothes and toiletries and they are ready to go. There is no hassle about taking other things with you or lugging 10 suitcases. All that you need is already set up for you. 

Besides the accommodation and the amenities already being prepared and set up for you, another great benefit of glamping are the activities that your family can enjoy. If you are glamping on the beach you can take part in diving, beach volleyball and making sandcastles with your kids and making it a competition, or if you are glamping in a forest cabin you might enjoy hiking, making smores by the fire, or zip-lining if your family is in for an adrenaline rush.

Ready? Go glamping!

Drop everything and let yourself enjoy your glamping vacation. Glamping time has many benefits. It encompasses all the benefits of traditional camping and traditional vacations. Nature has undisputed beauty and on every corner, you turn it will offer you something new and exciting. While you are taking a stroll in the woods you will also get some more Vitamin D from the sun and the rich green colour will impact the stress seeping out of your body. Is there anything more you can wish for?

Not only will you relax and be stressed freehand to improve your health, but you will also bring some new excitement into your life. The glamping experience can also be educational, with roaming around different locations in the world, encountering new plants and animals, and trying different and new foods. 

A glamp treehouse up on a mountain, a canvas safari tent, or another type of luxury tent? Which one will it be? It is all up to you to choose and embark on your unique and exciting new adventure.
