In the summer heat, maybe camping isn't for you this time of year. Sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag, tossing and turning all night in this heat. It's not exactly everyone's idea of a fun summer getaway.

I've been glamping a few times, and although I do love traditional camping, I have to say, we had the best time. When we were out west on vacation a few summers ago, one of the places we stayed had two bunk beds and a king-sized bed inside a wagon. Now, there was no bathroom; you did have to use a communal bathroom, but it was such a fun experience.
