I spent 3 nights at a luxury camp with the amenities of a five-star hotel - and I'm convinced it's the best way to go camping

Camping is a lot of work. To do it right you need a ton of equipment, and planning takes time.

Plus, spending a night in the woods might not be for everyone, especially city dwellers like me.

Enter glamping - my new favorite way to escape to nature for a couple of days. The term is a combination of the words "glamour" and "camping," and it's exactly what you might think: camping with many of the comforts of a hotel, like clean showers, flushing toilets, and a real bed.

Sound appealing? Sure is. Take a look at what sets glamping apart from traditional camping.
