You love camping, but your best friend loves his comfort zone more than the rough nature. But now you can persuade him to partner you in ‘Glamping’! Meant truly for those who love a little bit of both the worlds, Glamping is glamorous camping where after roughing it you get to retire in luxury’s lap.

The New York Times recently profiled this new trend and a few glamping venues which offer a mix of amenities ranging from tepees to antique dressers, all stressing a strong eco-conscious theme. Amenities vary depending on where you go, but many glamping packages include things like big, plush beds in your tent, personal butlers, gourmet food, wi-fi internet access, spa services (in a tent), and top shelf wine, liquor, cigars, etc. Rates start around $695 a night for a couple and can go as high as $50,000 a week for a family.

Call it nature on a silver plate, venues in Europe, Canada and the US. One of the most luxurious glamping sites is Paws Up in Montana where campers stay in cabins or tents, “complete with king-sized beds and art on the walls, a personal butler and private master bath (though it is a short walk away). Surrender to the soft nature!
