Glamping
The camping world can seem just a little too nylon at
times. There are gizmos and widgets for every
eventuality, but not, it sometimes seems, much style.
If you're one of those people who like their
environment to have a touch of glamour, then don't
let camping get in your way. Combine the two and
indulge in a little “glamping.”
• Find a site with unusual tents, like teepees or
Mongolian yurts, they may even have wood-burning
stoves inside them. Often made of canvas, these
structures are a luxurious option.
• Bring lots of cozy luxuries, like pillows and
cushions, or even a sheepskin rug.
• A few candles, (properly shielded of course), can
add lots of romance to the outdoor life.
• Decorate your tent. Tents can feature tinsel, flags,
and even holiday-style lights. It's a great way to
make your temporary abode easily recognizable in a
big campsite. With a little fishing line, some sticks,
and a few found objects you can make mobiles, too.
• Bringing a few luxuries, like a favorite coffee pot,
or a few (expendable) china cups or wine glasses is a
great way to reward yourself for living outside.
Beautiful and practical.
Yurts can be surprisingly
luxurious inside.
