Upscale Camping- for the Adventure Traveler

Pull up the tent pegs of history and pack away memories of soggy childhood camping trips, these days staying under canvas is less about smelly sleeping bags and communal toilets and more about thread-counted sheets and tents that come with private showers that is if you opt for the “boutique” camping experience.

Imagine an eco-tent with wood-burning stove and organic bedding; a Mongolian-style yurt that has woven textiles and stylish bathroom attached; a tent village complete with room service. Camping really has come a long way since my childhood days!


The cool camping bug is happening worldwide from the UK to Asia, North America to Africa you can find different types of designed camping experiences. Might it be customizing your experience tenting at a festival in Maharaja-type hunting tents, experience turkey in a customized nomadic yurt or taking the family to tent with the Four Seasons in the Golden Triangle in Thailand; it all exists for you to create the ultimate travel experience!

Some fun and interesting North American options include rock water Secret Cove Resort on the sunshine coast of British Columbia you will find amazing rugged beauty and elegance all in one. Each private luxury tent-house is appointed with deluxe furnishings, from fine linens on the king-size bed to the hydro-therapy tub with a view, propane fireplace, shoji screens and radiant floor heating. Private verandas feature exquisite outdoor furniture to enjoy the amazing ocean views.


We also love El Capitan Canyon outside of Santa Barbara a beachside eco camp which offers 26 raised-platform safari tents outfitted with comfy beds, woven rugs, and wood decks and is ideal for those who seek a traditional camping experience but with more of the creature comforts of home.


So weather its romance, small groups or family travel you can find a fantastic unique travel experience in luxury camping these days.
