We've all heard the old saying, "Mother Nature knows best," right?

But sometimes Mother Nature forgets about things like fluffy pillows, cozy beds, and the ability to make a good cup of coffee. That's where glamping steps in to save the day.

Glamping is the perfect mash-up of outdoor adventure and indoor comforts. It's like that time your kiddos HAD to camp in the backyard, but then missed their comfy bed and asked if they could bring out the entire pillow fort.

It's about connecting with the wide-open spaces, listening to the peaceful lullaby of crickets, and looking up at the twinkling expanse of the night sky. But, doing it with a few comfy luxuries thrown in (hello, queen-sized bed and hot shower!).

So, whether you're a seasoned camper or someone who thinks "roughing it" is staying in a hotel without room service, glamping lets you experience the great outdoors without foregoing the little luxuries that make life a bit more charming.

Can't wait to get started? Let's dive into how you can glam up your camping experience. 

 
  • It’s not a regular tent, it’s a cool tent

    This spacious, sturdy, pre-lit tent has plenty of room for all of your best glamping accessories as well as all of the features you want in your home away from home.

  • Get off the ground

    Ultra-plush and cozy bedding will not only give your camp a glam look but will also ensure a good night's sleep. A pop-up cot paired with an inflatable pad means you won’t miss your bed!

  • Chic camping chairs do exist

    Choose camping chairs that are as comfortable as they are stylish. And this Ostrich Deluxe chair pair makes a great choice. Seriously, we never thought a camping chair could be so #swoon. Or if you’re looking to snuggle up, trust us, you need these.

  • Make your cooler…cooler

    A cooler is not just for storing your drinks with the Igloo Party Bar! Put the “fun” in functionality with this heavy-duty, chic, mobile cooler that allows you to customize the bin space with removable dividers and a drink caddy.

  • Light up the night

    These battery-powered fairy lights will create a cozy and magical atmosphere, both inside and out.

  • Cooking, but make it fashion

    Eating in style even in an outdoor environment is possible, thanks to stylish cookware. The MalloMe Camping Cookware Mess Kit is not just fashionable, but also highly functional.

  • Layer the comfort with throw pillows

    Glamping is all about bringing the little touches of home to the outdoors. The addition of some soft, outdoor-friendly throw pillows will add a layer of comfort to your camping bed and chairs.

If you’re looking to take your glamping adventure luxuriously over the top, then these are an absolute must:

  • Max out the #glamping aesthetic

    If sheer space and luxury are what you're after, then a bell tent is your #1 must-have. It's massive, waterproof, and has mesh screens to keep insects out. And besides, it creates a premium glamping aesthetic.

  • Go ahead, bring the kids

    This luxury camping bunk bed is lavish and comfortable, so even the little ones can get in on the glamping perks. (Bonus: It has lots of storage!)

  • No ice? No problem

    Even in the great outdoors, with an electric cooler and freezer, you can keep your food fresh and drinks chilled.

camping snacks in the park

You’ve glammed up your gear but what about your snacks? Don’t skimp on these mouth-watering goodies:

  • Trail mix, but like, way better

    Who said healthy can't be tasty? This trail mix is a perfectly balanced antioxidant blend of nuts, fruits, and dark chocolate to deliciously power your glamping adventures.

  • Don’t skip the (boom chicka) popcorn

    Camping doesn't mean any popcorn, and this kettle corn is a glamper’s daydream. It's a little sweet. It's a little salty. It's a lot delicious.

  • Hack your s’mores

    Fancy a campfire classic but not so into the campfire? This sweet s’mores maker has everything you need for ooey-gooey, melt-in-your-mouth s'mores. Because let's be honest, is it even camping without s’mores? Take it to go with this delish s’mores bark.

  • Pop some bubbly (water)…

    Get your glam on and stay hydrated with bubly sparkling water. Sip from a fab glass to make it even more chic.

  • …Or wine

    Unwind with a glass of wine, but hold the glass with this outdoor-friendly packaging. It's great for a cozy moment under the stars, once the kiddos are tucked in the tent. Or try out a new fave NA option.


Whew, that was a lot, but if you’re glamping, you’ve got to do. it. right. So load up that luxury duffle and hit the (not too dusty) trails!
