Packed your bags and feeling that holiday vibe? Awesome, you’re halfway there! But before you dive into your first glamping adventure, we’ve got some nifty tips lined up for you. Get ready to be fully prepared, so all you have to do is soak up the joy. Let the vacation begin!
1. Figure Out What You Want From Your Holiday
Are you craving some peace and privacy? Or are you on the hunt for a place where the kids can make new friends? Maybe you’re all about that active lifestyle, or perhaps having a nice pool is top of your list? Deciding what you want out of your vacation beforehand ensures it lives up to your expectations.
2. Get to Know the Area
Not all glamping spots are created equal: some are nestled deep in nature, while others are part of regular campsites. Do a little research or bring along travel guides so you don’t miss out on any local gems.
3. Check the Weather Forecast
Sure, you might not be in a tiny tent, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get chilly at night. Be ready for whatever the weather throws at you – think extra blankets or a portable fan.
4. Keep Bugs at Bay
Make sure you’ve got plenty of bug spray and soothing cream for those pesky bites. Pro tip: whip up your own bug-repellent candle that smells great and adds a touch of decor.
5. Don’t Forget the Essentials
Most glamping spots have you covered with a kitchen and bathroom facilities, but double-check you’ve got everything. Can’t start your day without a fresh coffee? A percolator or French press is a game-changer and doesn’t take up much space.
6. Bring Plenty of Entertainment
You’ll likely spend a lot of time outdoors, but bring along some entertainment for those less-than-sunny days. Reading to the sound of rain on the tent or playing board games by candlelight is part of the experience.
7. Sort Out Transportation
Especially if you’re staying in the heart of nature, it’s smart to arrange transportation ahead of time. Since you’re not lugging camping gear, a car might not be necessary. Consider renting a car or having bikes handy for grocery runs and exploring.
8. Pack Easy Recipes
Trying local food is a highlight of any trip, but bringing some ingredients from home makes life easier. Even if it’s just ensuring you can enjoy roasted marshmallows and hot chocolate by the campfire.
9. Create a Cozy Atmosphere
Items like a portable speaker or ambient lighting elevate your glamping experience. If you can have a campfire, bring your own fire starters for convenience!
10. Make Room for Comfy Shoes
Both for outdoor adventures and quick trips to the facilities. Whether you need sturdy shoes for hiking or something easy to slip on, comfort is key.
