What is glamping? I really love the trend of glamping… have you heard of it? Glamping is the fancy shortened word for glamorous or luxurious camping and it is considered a new form of travel. I think my favorite part is that you can be so creative when you created your campsite or camper and really bring a touch of luxury to the outdoors. Glamping seems to be popular in Texas, Tennessee, California, Florida, Colorado and New England.
This is not for survivalists, but for families who love to be outside and like to travel in style. The convenience of camping is also a really important part of it.
No tent to pitch? I’m in!
Fancy Camping Ideas
Let’s take a look at some of my favorite fancy camping ideas…
Anyone Can Decorate had the most beautiful Gone Glamping adventure. She thought of everything and it was so stunning. You have to see how pretty this space is at night… gorgeous!
Fancy Camping Tents
Rose Kren shared her pop-up camper remodel on The Pop Up Princess and it is so stylish.
I love those curtains used to block of the sleeping area!
Texas Highways shared some of their favorite destinations and this is my favorite. Look at all those current trends inside of a tent.. love!
Yes friends… that is a metallic good strip across the middle of this updated camper by Whippy Cake.
It is all perfection and she tells you exactly the do’s and don’ts of painting a vintage camper.
Luxury Glamping
There are several glamping resorts which feature outdoor living but have resort style amenities. I found many glamping resorts near me in New England and Autocamp in Falmouth, Ma (Cape Cod) is a spot that a few of my friends have visiting and love it! Autocamp is more of a luxury resort featuring airstreams to rent.
This outdoor bedroom featured on Homedit is just breathtaking. To me, this is taking an entire bedroom into the woods and I love the wood floors.
This is what little girls dream of for their birthday. Okay… big girls, too! Stout Tents featured this flawless boho birthday glamping party and it is to-die-for!
West Elm received hundreds of requests for this tent after they featured it on their blog. I can see why… it is really cool!
This is such a quaint gypsy caravan featured on Tiny House living. The farmhouse details are so cute.
This camper remodel featured on Indulgy just turned an Airstream into and Air-Dream!
Here is our version of camping from years past. You can see my glamping home tour if you are new here. If you have been following me for a while, you know that we glamped for a few years on the lake each summer.
I loved our deck at the campsite. Just like inside our home, I like to style our outdoor spaces the same way. In my opinion, outdoor spaces are a great way to extend the inside of your home, outside.
