To quote our brothers at Orlando Weekly, "What is glamping and how do I do it?" Most of our abuelos would roll in their graves at the thought of "glamorous camping," but for those of us accustomed to the 2017 lifestyle, we'll take the air-conditioned, fully-equipped units that glamping has to offer.

If you're more of an indoors person, then "glamping" might be the perfect outdoor retreat for you. Loaded with luxurious amenities, these tricked out spaces are so cozy you might never leave even for a short nature walk.
