Difference between camping and glamping

Although glamping is a style of camping like a vacation, there are some significant differences. First, and probably the biggest, the difference is the type of accommodation you will be staying in. When you go on a traditional camping trip you usually bring your own tent or other forms of accommodation. But if you decide to go glamping your accommodation is already set up for you. A popular accommodation option during glamping is framed yurt tents, but mobile homes, tree houses, and camping vans may also be available. So instead of sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag, you will have a good night’s rest on a queen-size mattress.

The other difference between camping and glamping is toilets. Glamping areas provide fully functioning bathrooms and toilets on the site.
