Glamping = camping + glamour


Even though glamping has been around for the last several years, it seems it is becoming the latest trend for honeymoons.

Think of it as a “high-end” camping experience.  You still get the great outdoors, but have the comforts of a four-star hotel.

Apparently, these glamping sites originally started back in Africa and Thailand, but have now been popping up in Europe and the United States.

For your honeymoon, you can find very intimate and secluded sites located in the most scenic, remote and spectacular corners of the world.

Here are some of the more luxury glamping sites you might want to check out for your honeymoon:

Clayoquot Wilderness Resort (www.wildretreat.com) on Vancouver Island in the Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve in British Columbia.

Resort at Paws Up (www.pawsup.com) in Montana.  Both have elegantly furnished tents, which could lure even the most squeamish camper, but the resort is also dedicated to respecting the environment.

The Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle In Thailand.  Located west of Laos and south of Burma, this site offers honeymooners private panoramic views of Burma’s Ruak River and Laos’ mountains.  You could take a trek with elephants in the morning, an afternoon dip in your private hot tub, and end your evening with a choice of dinner at one of four gourmet establishments set up throughout the camp.

Dear Brides:  Would you consider “glamping” for your honeymoon?  Please comment and share.
