Glamping is catching on in Washington State. . .that would be a healthy dose of glamour and a bit of camping. When those two concepts merge anything is possible, as we found out this summer.
We 'glamped' in a tepee in the Lower Yakima Valley, about 170 miles from Seattle called Cherry Wood B and B a few weeks ago and just yesterday toured the new yurts at Chiwana Village at Sagecliffe Winery and Cave B Inn, near Quincy, Washington. From our tepee we had views of Mount Adams and from the yurt, the mighty Columbia River rolled past - some 900 feet below us, by the way.
I wrote about our glamping for the Seattle Times. The article appears in the July 15, 2010 NWWeekend section. I chuckled at the reader's comment that appeared shortly after the article went on line. The writer obviously doesn't understand 'glamping' - a high end experience!
One of the best sources for glampsites around the world is goGlamping.net.
I love the teepee camping setup. It reminds me and act as a tribute to our native American ancestors.
ReplyDeleteI love camping too!
ReplyDeleteCamping and trekking are two of the outdoor activities that I love most. I enjoy hiking and mountain climbing as well. Whenever I go on an outdoor activity, I always have my equipment and tools with me like a cold steel, tent, sleeping bag and a bar of chocolate (in case of hypoglycemia).
