The idea of camping sounds fun – but it’s not for everyone. However, there is a way to enjoy the outdoors and take in the stars at night without the daunting task of setting up a classic tent and sleeping bag. Enter – glamping, a type of hybrid camping and hotel lodging experience. Participants can soak in nature and get the whole experience while still sleeping in a comfy, cozy bed at the end of the day. Glamping can be in a yurt, airstream, teepee, cabin, or treehouse. Any type of structure can be considered a glamping location if it is smack in the middle of nature. Having access to air conditioning and full bathrooms are definitely a plus. Now that summer is approaching, glamping might be a great choice for a fun weekend activity — especially during national camping month. Read on for some great locations for glamping in New Jersey that would make a great getaway to soak up nature.
