Camping vs Glamping - All You Need to Know

If you're thinking about planning your next getaway to the great outdoors, you may want to consider if you're going camping or glamping. If you don't know the difference, no need to worry because we will cover all of that right here! Read on below to plan out your next trip.

What is Camping?

If you’ve never been camping before, or if you have, you know that the general idea of camping is stripping life down to the bare essentials of living. Some may require a couple more comfort essentials to help make the trip more reliable, but regardless we call it camping.

For some, planning your next adventure may include bringing along a backpack for hiking, a tent, easy-to-cook food, extra clothes, water, and sleeping essentials like a sleeping bag or hammock.

For others looking for a more comfortable experience, you might bring shower amenities, a cooler, camping chairs, and a portable battery-powered fan.

At the end of the day, we would still call this camping. The opportunity to step back and unplug from life’s distractions live simply, and just take a break from all of life’s stresses.

Camping in a nutshell is disconnecting from a life of privilege and amenities, stripping down to the bare essentials, relaxing, enjoying nature, and the great outdoors.

“Glamping,” is the short form for glamorous camping. Although some of us can easily strip down the comforts of modern-day life, for others it’s not as preferred. Glamping essentials would include things like a real mattress, running water and toilet, and proper shelter.

For most people looking to go in this direction, the optimal choice would be to buy a trailer. Our trailers here at CampMart come fully loaded with some of the best essentials for glamping.
