Glamping; short for "glamorous camping," has become a total game-changer in the world of outdoor recreation.

It combines the best of both worlds: – the beauty of Mother Nature and the comfort of a cozy hotel stay. Whether you're a seasoned camper looking for a more comfortable experience or a newbie wanting to dip your toes into outdoor adventure, glamping offers an unforgettable experience. To ensure you get the most out of your glamping adventure, we've put together a guide with 5 essential tips that will elevate your experience.

In this blog you’ll learn 5 pro tips on what to consider in your next glamping adventure!

Tip 1: Choose Your Location

The very first step to an unforgettable glamping adventure is choosing the right location. Do some research and consider things like the weather, views, family and pet-friendly sites, and what kind of vibe you're after. Mountains, beaches, forests, or deserts (a southwestern desert oasis is great this time of year....) – there's a whole world of options out there, so pick one that hits.

At Hot Springs Glamp, we are nestled in the Southwest desert, so you can enjoy cool nights, bright sunny days, and sunsets that will enchant you. Not to mention, we have private natural hot springs to soak in for ultimate relaxation vibes.

That's the beauty of glamping, it's all about what YOU are seeking and making sure the site you book can accommodate you.

Speaking of accommodations... that brings us to numero dos.

Depending on where you are landing, you can find all sorts of campsites and types of accommodations. Glamping allows for lots of style and comfort, from fancy tents to treehouses, cabins, domes, and yurts. Take your time to check out what's available for booking at your chosen spot. Think about your group size, the luxuries you can't live without, your budget, and travel time. Go with an accommodation that fits your needs and style.

Tip 3. Pack Light & Cozy

Sure, glamping invites you to be comfortable and since you're not roughing it you might want to bring a lot more along.

Remember that glamping is still a form of camping and while you have your amenities, you should still keep it simple.

Do your best to not overpack. Bring comfortable clothes suitable for the weather, comfy shoes for leisure and exploring, and your must-have personal stuff, and of course essentials like bug spray, sunscreen, and a basic first-aid kit.

Keeping it light will make your stay a breeze and clean-up will be quick and easy. If you've ever been camping you know the set-up and tear-down can be a drag. Glamping offers minimal effort so enjoy it.

Tip 4. Embrace Nature

Glamping IS camping so embracing nature is a must. Take the time to soak it all in.

Breathe in the clean air, watch the clouds roll by, feel the sun on your skin, marvel at the mountains, bodies of water, sunsets, local plants, and…. count each shining star.

You hopefully don't have to venture too far to really experience the place you stay, but if you do you can make a whole experience of it. You'll have to pre-determine how much civilization you want, or if you feel the wild calling your name. Which brings us to our final and favorite tip, number 5…

Tip 5. Make a Plan

Either you want to unplug and do nothing, or book an adventure to remember; there might be an option for both if you have an extended stay!

Whatever your flavor, figure it out beforehand so you can get there and vibe.
