Glamping- It’s on everyone’s lips. So why not provide a definition, especially from us, the original glamping destination outside of Africa. We’ve been glamping for over eight years, so as a glamping authority here is our definition.
Glamping is:
• Stepping into the middle of a rainforest after a fresh rain
• Feeding eagles from the side of your kayak
• Horseback riding in the morning and deep sea fishing in the afternoon
• Enough fresh air to make you dizzy
• Able to push your comfort levels
• Dodging black bears
• Five star Adirondack amenities
• A hot stone massage on the side of a rushing river
• Able to remind you of times gone by
• A place where your family can join you
• Unlimited choice- when you want to dine, when you want to play, when you want to relax
• Socializing
Glamping is not:
• Your typical 5 star experience
• A chocolate on your pillow
• Just a place to put your head at night
• A minibar
• Dodging traffic
• A suit and tie for dinner
• Where you play video games
• Dinner and a movie
• Stuffiness
• Solitary
I hope this helps in explaining what ‘true’ glamping is, from the mouths of those that started the trend.
What a great idea!
My wife and I have done a lot of camping but would alternate 1 night camping one night hotel because lets face it who wants to rough it 3 weeks straight! Glamping sounds just like our type of thing!
