From yurts to luxury tents to domes, the love of Texas glamping is all about experiencing the rustic outdoors in non-traditional accommodations filled with comfort.
“With glamping, you don’t have to have outdoor experience,” HoneyTrek glamping blogger Anne Howard told Chron. “It’s easy access to nature, with creative structures like teepees and treehouses. These places tread lightly on the terrain and blend in with nature.”
One of the main appeals of glamping, especially amid the pandemic, is that it takes some of the logistical nightmares of camping out of the equation, Howard said.
“Glamping has taken all the hard work out of camping. That’s why it’s becoming more and more popular,” Howard said. “It’s also about sustainable practices and providing a truly authentic and unique experience. It should be a place of heart and intention.”
