Glamping – glamorous camping – continues to increase in popularity for campers around the country. Although it can be immensely rewarding to live in nature without the conveniences (and nuisances) of modern life, some campers are choosing to introduce luxury into their RV camping experience. There are even glampsites that specialize in offering resort amenities that go beyond those found at your average recreational campground.
But there are still a wide range of DIY accommodations that make the glamping phenomenon accessible to campers who can’t afford expensive glamping resorts. It can even be a couple’s compromise on the traditional camping experience. If one partner is less enthusiastic about the wilderness and “roughing it,” introducing some aspects of glamping can make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
The holidays are right around the corner and, if you have an RV owner in your life who has everything, then glamping gifts may be just the ticket. Here are a few of our favorites.
Memory Foam Mattress
Even though a good night’s sleep can be one of the most important aspects of your camping trip, the standard sleeping arrangements on RVs aren’t always the most luxurious. An RV memory foam mattress will help the RV owner in your life get a good night’s sleep and help their back feel better in the morning. The material is also well-suited for RV travel because it’s lightweight and more adaptable to imprecise spaces.
If replacing an existing mattress is too much trouble, a memory foam mattress topper is another great option for added comfort. Mattress toppers cost less than an entire mattress and can still make for a much improved sleeping situation.
Queen Size Sleeping Bag
Queen size sleeping bags are another way to improve sleeping arrangements, both inside and outside the RV. Whether you want to cozy up with your camping companion or simply have some more room, queen size sleeping bags are a luxury with plenty of utility.
Much like a memory foam mattress topper, a queen-size sleeping bag can also be placed on top of a mattress for warmth and added comfort, which is especially useful on freezing nights.
Portable Gas Grill
Who doesn’t love to grill out? Food can be one of the first compromises campers make when it comes to packing the RV. But with the right portable gas grill, there’s no reason to bring instant oatmeal and eat lukewarm hotdogs. Go to the local farmers’ market and get the best local offerings for a delicious, one-of-a-kind camping experience.
Plan That Next Great Vacation
If the RV owner in your life truly has everything, then a reservation at a glamping resort might be the best gift. There are glampsites all across the country, and overseas too, for all kinds of budgets. Find one with unique accommodations and give the RV owner in your life the push they need to take their next great RV vacation.
