Gone Glampin'

Transformed considerably from its roots in camping, glamping combines nature with luxury. So, leave the tent turndown to the butler, and book it to your alfresco spa treatment by the sea.

Story by Darcy Gaugler

New Phenomenon

I don’t know about you, but I’m not really a fan of camping. Truth be told, I’m just not any good at it either. What seems like common camping sense to some is an overwhelming puzzle to me. In fact, the last time I went camping, my best friend and I took a long road trip to Colorado, camping along the way. It became quickly apparent the first afternoon of setting up camp, after unpacking the essentials (i.e. cooler and card games), that I hadn’t brought a sleeping bag. Much to my chagrin, I spent that night cuddling with our other

travel companion, Lucy the dog, to stay warm.
