Glamping (glam + camping): the pleasures of a crackling campfire, good friends, and open-air slumber glammed up with luxurious comfort, chic decor, and indulgent food!
When you set off to camp in the traditional sense you do so with a mindset of "roughing it."
To be honest, we never really had it too rough on our camping trips: we had tents and even a pop-up camper for a while. However, we certainly accepted that we were sacrificing some things for the camping experience.
With glamping your mindset is totally different: instead of expecting sacrifice, you head into the great outdoors with an expectation of comfort. Of bringing beautiful things into a beautiful, natural setting to appreciate them in a whole new way.
When glamping you also expect to have fun, delicious, and indulgent foods - even if you're cooking over a campfire!
This glamping concept has been an intriguing one to dig into, and I really enjoyed creating glamping recipes that I think will bring some fun and indulgence to your next glamping getaway! I shared these recipes on our Local 22/44 morning news, cooking them up on their grill and enticing Meteorologist Amanda Thibault to give them a try.

Supplies and Decor
If you are heading to a resort or destination with a lot of amenities, you may not need to bring much with you - just grab some clothes, maybe a bottle of wine and you're good to go! However, if you're trying to bring the glam to your campsite or even your backyard retreat, here are some fun places to get decor and supplies:
Pinterest is a perfect place to not only find decor ideas but to organize and share them. My Pinterest board, Glamping Ideas, Glamping Food, Glamping Decor has links to colorful throw pillows, solar chandeliers and other lights, Bohemian accessories, portable grills, and glamping how-to articles.
Amazon
Everyone’s favorite place to shop can net you all the gear you need for glamping. Find tents, lanterns, a camp stove, cast iron skillets, and soft blankets to snuggle in!
Etsy
This global market is a great resource, especially if you’re planning a glamping event for a bachelorette party, birthday, or a friends' getaway. There are cute ideas for glamping invitations, t-shirts, favors, and printables.
Your Own Beautiful Things!
Yes! Bring your own beautiful things into a new, beautiful, and natural setting. Grab your fluffiest blankets and softest sheets. Bring colorful, throw pillows and a small rug to place outside your door (or tent flap!) A cloth tablecloth, real silverware, dishes, and candles make things really special. Mason jars of varying sizes are gorgeous to hold flowers and votive candles.
Armed with these Glamping Resources you will soon find your perfect glamping destination, decorate it with chic glamping decor, and whip up an indulgent fireside treat for you and your glamping mates!
