Let's Go Glamping!



Glamorous camping = Glamping!

This is a more extreme glampsite. Note the large spacious tent, the raised floor, and a full bed with a real mattress. But glamping can really be just bringing some comforting items to your camp site to make it more luxurious, pampered, and have a few homey touches. Here is our take on glamping- thrift store style.

The Glampsite:
Make the front of the tent the "porch" with an area rug or two, side tables for lanterns and candles, and throw pillows to add comfort to the camp chairs.
Dress up an air mattress with vintage sheets, comfy throws, crochet blankets, and lots of pillows. Continue the pampering by packing scented candles, handmade soaps, flavored coffees, thrifted dishes, linens for the picnic table and pretty vases for wildflowers.
























Glamping Food
Skip the hot dogs, potato chips and regular smores and replace with more gourmet recipes.

Glamping Activities
Bring a homemade journal for writing, pressing flowers and leave a few empty pages for pictures you print when you get home. Do a Paint-by-number. Read a classic book.


Glamping does not have to be expensive.  Find treasure around your home to pack, or head to the thrift store for items. Here is a collections of recently donated glamping items that you may find in your local Southwestern Michigan Goodwill.
