Camping doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or primitive. In fact, it can be downright luxurious if you know where to go. “Glamping,” where camping and glamour meet, has taken the outdoor world by storm. Even the most low-key outdoors person can appreciate cozy, comfortable accommodations every once in a while. Life is too short to always sleep on the hard, cold ground all the time. Here are some hedonistic camping ideas to get you interested.
Camping in a Yurt
If you’ve never heard of a yurt, they are round, wooden framed tents traditionally used by nomadic cultures of Northern Asia. In Western culture, yurts have gained popularity in the last twenty years as a modern and comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors. Most are now built as permanent structures on platforms and feature insulation for all four seasons. Many yurts have woodstoves or central heating, access to plumbing, electricity, kitchen facilities and spacious beds. Think of them as first-rate tents with all the creature comforts. Traditionally, yurts are beautifully decorated with bright colors. Yurt campgrounds can be found worldwide, as their popularity has skyrocketed. Chances are, you can find one near you.
Stay in a Conestoga Wagon
You can stay in an authentic Conestoga wagon just like the pioneers, minus the hardships. (So, no dysentery to worry about) At Conestoga Ranch in Utah, your family can sleep comfortably and in style. You can feel like you’re on your way to the Oregon trail, but with the modern conveniences of wi-fi, spa-style bathrooms, a massage tent, yoga, and electricity, The resort is also packed with fun, family-oriented activities like a game room, hiking, swimming, horseback riding, fishing and other outdoor related excursions.
Keep it Cool in an Ice Hotel
Available from December through April, the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden, is precisely that- the world’s first and largest ice hotel. If you’ve ever wondered what staying in Elsa’s Ice Castle was like, here’s your chance to find out. The king-sized beds even feature reindeer hide blankets. The hotel is made entirely of ice, except for the “warm room” sections for those bothered by the cold. During the day, the hotel offers tours to the public, as the hotel itself, inside and out, is a stunning work of art. The stay includes the use of the spa, the sauna, the hot tub, the in-house restaurant and the bar.
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti
Located in Arusha, Tanzania, Four Seasons Safari Lodge sounds like a dreamy bucket list destination for many. The large, posh cabins are exquisitely decorated and overlook Serengeti National Park. Think of it as a luxury hotel outdoors with everything that a luxury hotel has. The only difference is the open-air cabins. Guests are immersed in the local culture and wildlife without sacrificing top-tier comfort. The resort offers safaris, guided nature walks, and even bush dinners with locals. Best of all, Four Seasons contributes to nature conservation and assists the local community.
