Glamping offers a unique get-away in which visitors get all the “good stuff” of camping with none of the harder aspects of truly roughing it in the great outdoors. Amenities often include air conditioning, a small restroom, a bed and other comforts from home, and they come in the form of yurts, cabins, tents and other structures.
