Girl Goes Glamping

Wednesday, May 25, 2011



We've been discussing the possibility of camping for a portion of the holiday weekend. We do it the old fashioned way, with a pop-up tent and air mattress, and while I enjoy connecting with nature in a simple way, it sure would be lovely to experience fresh air and night noises from the comfort of a queen size bed :)

  2. The only way I will camp is if someone takes me glamping! I'm not a high maintenance girl, but I am a germophobe and I just can't cope with laying on the ground and the possibility of bugs, etc. Unless we are talking about the beach one would definitely not consider me outdoorsy =) But this place looks fantastic, I would happily go there any day!

  3. OK now this is the way to camp. Reminds me of the Ralph Lauren (right, or am I wrong?...) teepees that are all decked out!

  4. Okay, I would definitely go glamping. I've only been camping once; when I was maybe seven years old one of my good friends and I had a daddy-daughter camping weekend. It wasn't bad - of course, it was at a camp site with showers and such - but I've never been again for no particular reason!

  5. And to think, some hardcore campers consider even having an air mattress "glamping." I would take one of the camps pictured here over my old air mattress (which is one of those thick 2-layered ones of course) any day! ;)

  6. I'm with you! If I'm gonna rough it every where else then at least give me a good pillow and a bed! These are gorgeous. How fun to camp in your backyard like this!

  8. I've always wanted to go there - one of the nicest places in my home land! I' also hoping to do a little camping this summer...but very no frills (which sort of makes me sad).

  10. Ashleigh, thanks for the sweet birthday wishes for S!

    I love camping, and though I have no problem "roughing it" (no air mattress, though that has changed, and I would much prefer an air mattress these days...), I would have to agree with you. It would be really nice, just once to have an all out super stylish, and comfy camping experience that is over the top.

  13. Glamping makes my heart pitter patter just a little faster-I imagine John wearing flannel and hunting things while I read and make cocoa in those cute tin cups!
