If you’re more into the idea of the great outdoors than the buggy, dirty reality, then glamping is for you. We’re talking a staycation that’s easy to set up in the comfort of your own backyard, which means you can keep all your luxurious indulgences at your fingertips. And, just think, while you’re seriously not roughing it, there’s indoor plumbing only steps away. Grab your warmest blankets, grill essentials, and that book you’ve been dying to read, and treat yourself to a five-star camping trip in your own backyard. The best part? Wi-Fi!
