Glamping is a new word — it was added to the Oxford dictionary in 2016 — but it’s a very old concept! In fact, people have been “glamping” for centuries, all the way back to the 16th century. There’s glamping in Estes Park too – the idea of being surrounded by nature while having the ability to relax in comfortable luxury — all while also having countless adventures within just a few steps of your front door — is very appealing to many vacationers.
What is glamping, anyway?
The core idea behind “glamping” is, well – we could call it “camping in style.” Not all folks who are looking to visit Estes Park are expecting to sleep in an moldy old cabin or questionable tent at the end of the day — with all the creepy crawlies that might come with them, not to mention a lack of amenities for your family. What about having your own, dedicated facilities like a washer and dryer, fully outfitted kitchen, and entertainment areas? Also, many families simply don’t have the space or resources for an RV or trailer to go on an adventure.
So, glamping is retreating to a location where you can experience all the joys of nature but with a luxurious place to retreat to at the end of your days of adventure, whether it be in downtown Estes Park, on the river rapids, or out hiking in nature. And, with no need to worry about an RV, trailer, or questionable sleeping arrangements.
