What is Glamping?

Glamping is a combination of the words "glamorous" and "camping," and is a truly luxurious outdoor camping experience. Luxurious tents and beds, as well as hotel-level services, are often provided, and there is no need to prepare camping essentials such as setting up tents, making a bonfire, or preparing meals, making it a popular casual outdoor experience. It is also recommended for camping beginners, as you can enjoy it empty-handed.

Glamping facilities are often located in places blessed with nature, allowing you to spend an extraordinary time. You can enjoy activities such as forest walks, swimming in the river, fishing, and stargazing, and the appeal is that you can refresh both body and mind while surrounded by nature.

Differences from camping

The difference between glamping and camping is whether or not you need to prepare in advance and bring your own equipment. With glamping, the bare minimum of equipment and facilities required for camping are provided. Therefore, the biggest advantage is that you can experience camping empty-handed. On the other hand, with camping, you need equipment such as a tent, and if you don't have camping equipment, you have to rent it.

Another advantage of glamping is that many locations allow you to feel close to nature, and many of them focus on creating a stylish atmosphere and interior. Some facilities allow you to experience a resort atmosphere, allowing you to make memories in an extraordinary space.
