Introduction
Glamping. What even is it?? Well the dictionary defines it as “a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping.” A simpler way of putting it is a really nice way to camp. I’m talking larger tents, convenient amenities, and beautiful campsites with incredible things to do all around you. For those of you who have had little or no experience glamping or even camping, this is the perfect article for you. I’ll explain a little about what you can expect if you go glamping, specifically at one of the Wander Camp locations.

Packing List
Clothes
What to wear is very season dependent! If it is warm, it’s a good idea to bring shorts, t-shirts, and a swimsuit. If it will be colder, pants and jackets are the way to go! Just bring what you think you’ll be most comfortable in!
Food
If weather permits, canteen food trucks are available. You can enjoy rustic American meals like pancakes and coffee for breakfast, and burgers and chips for dinner. If that’s not enough, bring snacks and other things to fill you up!
Misc.
Depending on you, there are many other things to consider bringing. Flashlights, camp chairs, hammock, multi-tool, binoculars, games, bug spray, and sunscreen are just a few!
