Over the years, camping has evolved to be what is now known as “glamping.” Glamping is a coined term for “glamorous camping.” It is basically going on a camping trip minus the miserable bits when the rain falls, plus the luxury and comfort of hotel living.
Glamping sounds like a millennial activity to do while enjoying campfires, outdoor fun, and stargazing, but it is also becoming increasingly popular for good reasons. It does appeal to anyone who wants to relax or get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
Camp like a champ while enjoying the scenery without having to worry about the changing and unpredictable weather in these glamping sites around the world. Read on for 20 of the unique glamping sites you can visit.
