(Broadry) — The feeling of summer slipping by like sand through your fingers is all too common. No sooner are the kids out of school, then the Fourth of July seems to roll right up, and before you know it, you’re seeing school supplies in the stores, Labor Day is upon you and you’re wondering where the summer went. We’re all looking to hang onto summer just a little bit longer.
One way to do that is to enjoy a final getaway with the family before the hectic schedules of the fall take over. If planning an elaborate vacation that will please everyone seems like a daunting task, try keeping it simple.
While camping is a staple summer activity for many, not everyone prefers getting up close and personal with nature for their getaway. Campgrounds across the country have gotten this memo, featuring rental accommodations that bring glamour to traditional camping. It’s the perfect blend to give you the easy escape you’re looking for.
Kick back, take advantage of campground amenities, and visit local attractions near these seven glamping destinations this summer.
