THE ULTIMATE STYLE OF TRAVEL

No matter what you believe glamping to be, there is a worldwide craving to get back to nature, stay in unique places, revel in little indulgences, connect with family and friends, and have experiences that inspire us. To understand glamping, we need to break down this funny word—its history, structures, creators, participants, and what’s in it for you.

WHAT IS GLAMPING?

Only added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2016, “glamping” (a portmanteau of “glamorous” and “camping”) has been defined as “a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping.” But we’re not going to take the word of a linguist in a cubicle as gospel. To get to the bottom of this, we interviewed leaders and proprietors across the glamping industry, dug through countless studies on travel and camping trends, and heard from the glampers themselves. We went on a two-year quest, glamping in over 60 places across nine countries, to find its meaning—not so much in words, but what it means to us as 21st-century humans.

WHY GLAMPING?

Glamping is appealing to people across demographics and for a variety of reasons. Kids can run wild, parents get a little pampering, couples have a romantic space, dogs are welcome, city folks can come as they are, and—if you didn’t hear—even celebs like Oprah and Prince William love glamping. It is great for just about everyone!

We all need a vacation, but in this fast-paced world we live in, we could really use some glamping right about now. It’s good for our health, relationships, and the earth, plus it’s a blast! You deserve better than run-of-the-mill hotels and packaged tours. Turn the pages of this glamping book and let’s get Comfortably Wild!
