Glamping Checklist
Glamping is Camping done in a glamorous way. Many people will not entertain the thought of proper camping due to the effort needed to set up a tent, the lack of electricity and the cooking on camp stoves.
Glamping is a half way house that allows many of the comforts of a stay in a cottage or cabin whilst still being a type of camping.
This glamping checklist assumes:
- The tent is already there and set up for you
- The tent has electrical supply
- You need your own bedding (some sites provide glamping bedding but generally you will need to bring your own)
- You need your own cooking facilities
You should always check what is provided at your glamping site.
It’s fairly obvious, but check with the tent provider or site owner to see what’s provided and cross it off the glamping checklist. There’s no point taking more than you need to and any unnecessary items can be crossed off your glamping checklist.
