NEW JERSEY — Are you seeking an outdoor getaway overnight, weekend, or week adventure this summer but want something that’s a step up from camping, surrounded by more of the comforts of home?
Stepping out into the woods or even camping near the beach doesn’t mean you have to rough it.
Many campgrounds these days aren’t just about hitting the outdoors without luxuries.
The camping franchise KOA differentiates camping from glamping, or “glamorous camping,” with the latter having accommodations that are a step up, depending on what you want, whether it’s a private bath, electricity, TV, comfortable furniture, air conditioning in the summers and heat when it’s cooler, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, restaurants on-site and more.
Deluxe cabins, cottages, teepees, treehouses and yurts – a circular tent – are among some of the more upscale glamping places to stay.
