Glamping Must-Haves

Forgoing the sleeping bags and rickety tents of traditional camping, glamping is a much more luxurious way to enjoy the great outdoors in style. Bell tents with comfortable beds, power sources, and seating areas offer the basic comforts, but what makes camping feel glamorous is really all about the finishing touches. Here are some ideas to make your next glamping retreat extra special.

The one thing glampers are sure not to miss about regular camping is the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. Maximize the luxury experience of glamping with plenty of textile touches – we’re talking super-soft blankets, high thread-count sheets, fluffy pillows, and shag rugs that really create a cozy nest feeling.

Add to the level of comfort with plenty of oversized cushions and ottomans for your daytime lounging needs. Perfect for sipping a cup of coffee with friends, or enjoying some peaceful meditation time.

A statement dream catcher made with macrame, feathers, and/or beads is a great way to add to the boho aesthetic of your glamping trip. Dream catchers are Native American items traditionally considered to offer protection while you sleep – perfect for spending the night in the great outdoors.

It’s not all about where you lay your head, a glamping trip will also involve eating your meals outdoors so don’t forget to add some cute table settings and picnic accessories to your list. Placemats, napkins, cups, and cutlery are the essentials, but you can make it feel extra luxurious with some candles and vases to fill with whatever wildflowers you can find.
