Camping means going back to nature and living with the bare necessities. Many people like the novelty that comes with unplugging from modern conveniences and facing the wild side. However, camping doesn’t always have to be a situation that is uncomfortable and takes away modern luxuries. You can still go camping and enjoy Mother Nature without having to give up conveniences if you go luxury camping.
Glamping or luxury camping is a new way to amp up the camping experience by camping with all the amenities found in your home. Imagine going kayaking, hiking, and sightseeing for one whole day and resting by the end of the day on a nice bed and soft pillows. Luxury camping is the way to go when you want to feel like a king or queen after a long tiring day with Mother Nature.
The following are some luxury camping tips so you can camp in style:
1. Have a Cozy Place to Sleep
The number one thing that marks luxury camping as different from ordinary camping is the type of bedding you bring. Comfortable bedding is the key to having a luxurious camping experience. The beddings you bring should be like the ones you use back home. Start with a comfy base such as an elevated cot and then put a mattress over it. Equip the bed with soft sheets and pillows, and a comforter. Incorporate further bedroom accents to your space by equipping it with side tables and rugs. Bring your favorite slippers and reading materials. The only downside to this is you may have difficulty getting up in the morning to leave your tent.
2. Have Comfy Chairs
Camp furniture can look good, and all you need is to shop and choose the right one that will go well with your luxury camping. Wooden camp furniture can provide a great aesthetic look and complement the natural surroundings of a wood or forest. You can also go for a versatile inflatable camping couch. Arrange a living room space with this furniture and make sure to add lots of comfortable blankets and throw pillows.
Of course, no camping is complete without a bonfire where people can converge to chat and get warm. However, be aware of the fire restrictions in your camping ground. You can opt for a high-tech fire pit so you can control the fire much easier. Plus, high-tech fire pits will look cool with your on-the-camp luxury living room.
3. Light Up Your Campsite with Twinkling Lights
When night comes, you want to make your camping site truly light up and twinkle in the darkness. Get maximum illumination by equipping your spot with LED lights. Light up candles in and around your tent to make it feel truly romantic and glamorous. You can also use energy-saving solar-powered lanterns to add to the lighting.
4. Decorate Your Tent With Home Accents
Bringing your home to your tent in the middle of the campsite means more than just bringing convenience. Really glamp it up by bringing some décor to warm up the place and make it truly feel like a home away from home. Bring in some colorful rugs, vases and even fresh flowers to add some color to the space. Let your creative juices flow and think of how to decorate the space you will be staying in during camping. The only thing you should avoid is bringing something too fragile that you are afraid of breaking or ruining.
5. Cook Amazing Food
Luxury camping is not just about getting physical comforts; it is also about getting gastronomic satisfaction. The usual camping fare would be beans on a can, but that receives an upgrade in luxury camping. You can have full, well-prepared meals in luxury camping, so be sure to bring in all the appliances you need to cook up a great meal. You can cook fresh cinnamon rolls, salads, and anything grilled. You can have each person in your camp plan a meal and have a competition on who is the most creative outdoor cook.
6. Choose a Great Tent
If you want a glammed-up campsite, you have to have the perfect tent. It can glam up your surroundings and give you the comfort of ultimate luxury. Consider getting a tent that is spacious and has swinging doors as this means you wouldn’t have to stoop down and duck all the time. The definition of the perfect tent may vary from person to person, but a tent that will be great for luxury camping should at least have the following qualities:
● Double-layers so it won’t leak when it rains
● High opening so you don’t have to stoop
● Easy to assemble
● Spacious and big
● Comes with an awning
Final Thoughts
Luxury camping is a fun and creative way to camp. It certainly veers away from the traditional idea of camping, and everyone is free to have their own kind of entertainment. Luxury camping lets you enjoy all the amenities of your home but in different and greener surroundings. The result is a fun adventure that is truly extraordinary.
