What Kind Of Structure Best Fits You

5 Helpful Things To Know Before You Go Glamping

With glamping the possibilities are endless. You may choose the traditional setup: a tent. However, the sky is the limit when you go glamping. Wagons, treehouses, pods, bubble tents, safari tents, campers, and teepees are a few of the popular structures available.

5 Helpful Things To Know Before You Go Glamping

When deciding what structure is best for you it is best to think about how “outdoorsy” you want to be and the weather conditions where you are glamping. Tents, wagons, and teepees are better for the “outdoorsy” types who want more of a camping experience. Pods, campers, and treehouses often provide a more durable structure for weather and provide walls and a locking door for those that are a little skeptical.

Of course, other things to keep in mind are desired and available amenities. Additionally, if you have a fear of heights steer clear of the treehouse option. If you are looking for a romantic, watch the sunrise, snuggle in the sheets and morning sunlight situation, a bubble tent allows the morning light, star-filled skies, and breathtaking views to be visible without even leaving the bed.
