New Jersey Glamping: Comfort Meets Outdoors

There are places you can sleep in a comfortable bed, keep cool with a fan or even air conditioning, and still feel like you're out in nature. You really get the best of both worlds. All the comforts and luxuries of home while still getting the camping experience.

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.
