Camping is known to be a universally recognized outdoor kind of leisure. It can bring a lot of benefits to your health and the opportunity to take a true rest psychologically. However, it also has certain limitations mostly in comfort and hygiene and the availability of fresh food and clean water due to which it cannot be recommended for everyone.

Glamping, which means “glamorous camping” is the kind of camping that can address all the known limitations of camping. In other words, it is camping which is free from all the downsides of this activity. Therefore, it can be recommended to anyone for unlimited periods of time. The only limitations concerned with glamping are the prejudices saying that it cannot count as camping.

Still, if this modification of camping can make it more popular and available to a lot more people than traditional camping could, it deserves to at least be considered. Read on, and you will learn more about this modern and comfy type of camping and the way it differs from the regular one.

Glamping differs from ordinary camping, first of all, in its treatment of comfort. Camping implies forgetting about habitual comfort for some time and challenging oneself with it. Still, with a 3-season 3-person tent you can level up your comfort while camping.

Glamping does not abolish or deprive of comfort, as its goal is not to challenge but to bring pleasure. That’s why when while camping you can live only in a tent which you set up yourself, glamping offers already set up comfy shelters. Moreover, in these living places, you can find amenities such as electricity and a refrigerator. Also, usually, glamping campsites are not far from cafes and restaurants with scrumptious foods.

As researches say, night sleep is the fundament of your health. When you’re camping classically, a thin tent and a sleeping bag inside your tent or under the sky are the maximally comfortable conditions you can have. Such sleep is often uncomfortable and even provokes back pains over time. However, in four-season tents, the quality of sleep can become fairly better.

With glamping, you have the right for comfort so that you will sleep on a wide bed with clean sheets under the roof of your dome tent opening to the sky.

When you’re camping, to go to the toilet you just go to the wild understanding that even if you’re a homo sapiens you’re anyways an animal so that there’s nothing embarrassing in it.

Glamping implies more civilized amenities for this need. You will just have an ordinary comfortable restroom with wooden decorations.

To cook food, campers have to gather firewood and then roast vegetables or marshmallows over an open fire.

When you’re glamping, you can also have ordinary amenities for cooking such as electrical or gas ovens.

Maintaining high hygienic standards when you’re camping is rather problematic, speaking frankly. First of all, the idea of being clean is not popular in the camping community, and being dirty is even perceived as something fun. It is also a sign of escaping from civilization so not taking a shower is rather right and understandable.

When talking about glamping, the situation with hygiene is completely different. Glampers don’t need to tolerate any smells from themselves, and they have fully equipped bathrooms with showers.

When camping, the ways to control the temperature in a tent are limited and of compromised quality. You can only do this with the help of closing the tent flap, changing your sleeping bag to a thicker or lighter one, or opting for warmer or lighter clothes.

Glampers, on the other side, never feel discomfortable about the air temperature as every accommodation is equipped with air heating and conditioning units.

There cannot be any furniture in your camping tent and the only way you can store your things is to keep them in your backpack or car or hang them on the tree in a pack.

When you’re glamping you don’t have to tolerate any lack of comfort, including the storage of your supplies. In your yurt or cottage or recreational vehicle, you will have a dresser for your wardrobe and a refrigerator for your food.

During camping, the only way to get water for drinking is to find a clean water stream nearby. But that water may need additional filtration or boiling to be safe.

While glamping, you never have to risk your health so that there will always be a source of filtered clean water accessible.

For some, it may seem a trifle, but many people cannot imagine starting their day without a cup of coffee in the morning. In the conditions of camping when the habitual civilized way of life is recommended to forget, having no coffee may even be recommended. Still, if the desire to have a cup of this beverage is stronger than any other idea by brewing it above the campfire you will get your delicious cup of coffee.

When glamping, making a coffee is expectedly way easier. A bag of coffee is waiting for you in a pot in every living space.

By the way, science researches witness that love for coffee can bring many benefits to the health – 9 Health Benefits of Coffee, Based on Science (healthline.com).

Camping is an amazing leisure activity that can open you not only to nature but to yourself too. Still, it’s also known to have limitations for certain categories of people, specifically those who have various health disorders. The lack of comfort, hygiene, normal sleep, and sometimes even calmness can bring harm to the health of such people.

Glamping is an alternative way of taking rest in nature that does not require denying comfort. This glamorous camping can also open you to nature but without having to experience the known discomforts.
