Even though most of us consider ourselves girl scouts doesn’t mean we earned the roughing-it badge.
In my 20s I dated ‘the camping guy’. I’m not saying we didn’t last because of it, but at one point there was smoke, a dwindling fire and no proper restroom. There was a break-up.
I’m pretty sure that’s when glamping was invented.
Use the Scoop Glamping Guide below for the kind of fire you really desire. Glam it up in the mountains or in the low-country. With your girls, with the fam — or with your very own Johnny Appleseed.
