BYOFP (Bring your own Fire Pit!) This one is beautiful, portable, and smokeless. You can remain in your chair, enjoy the fire without cursing white rabbits, and enjoy your evening without running away from the smoke. And who wants to use that yucky firepit with years of everyone else's camping filth in it… when you can bring your own. haha #affiliate
Fire Pit 2.0
Don't jostle that too much… there's champagne in there! This soft cooler is just so beautiful. There are so many colors to choose from, and brand can't be beat! #affiliate
YETI Backpack Style Soft Cooler
Why get a CAMP chair when you can have a LOUNGE chair?? The drinks go in the hole in the small attached platform… instead of the chair arm, where you ARM is supposed to rest. This is the ultimate camping comfort! And if you drink a little too much, you can just recline and sleep the night in peace. #affiliate
Big Lounge Chair
Yes, thank you. I'll take your driest Riesling with my hot dog. Who am I kidding?? I'm having beef tenderloin tonight ;) #affiliate
YETI Wine Bundle
This tent is on my wish list, and I've researched the heck out of it! This one is an 8-person, and I would get it for myself and my partner. Yes, 2 people. I think there MIGHT be enough room for the both of us. There is height so we can stand to change, and it is made from waterproof canvas. The best tents are canvas tents!! Less noisy with wind, more insulating and don't collect condensation. I also love the big awning and that you can't see inside the tent through the open windows. More privacy for camping lovin'! #affiliate
Canvas Deluxe 8-Person Tent
Maybe you think I'm crazy, but you could take the time to set up these lanterns around the site. Set the mood for a fantastic evening experience… especially if you are camping with a romantic partner. And no need to turn them off if you are in a rush to get inside the tent! They are solar powered, and you aren't wasting energy. I think an important facet of ‘glamorous camping’ is truly enjoying luxuries… which includes making the best of the little moments! #affiliate
Solar Lanterns
Exped Megamat. Expensive, but feels like sleeping in a real bed! This is one of the highest rated mats out there, and customers rave about how comfy it is. Good to -48 deg. It is meant for individual use, but can fit two comfortably, as long as one is on top of the other ;) #affiliate
Exped Megamat
This set is stainless steel, insulated, stackable and dishwasher safe. You can swap out colors in the set if you want to mix it up a little. These are pricey, and will last a very long time. I love how YETI has a 5 year warranty on their stuff! #affiliate
YETI Insulated Bowls
And by ‘double’ I mean more room for me and the dog. I think a hammock is a must-have for a glamorous camping trip. This one is very highly rated. It is nylon, has a quick 2 minute set-up, and has a handy side pocket for your stuff. You know, so your book and water bottle don't fall and get wedged down under your legs. #affiliate
Double Hammock
You won't find this cooler rattling around in the back of some rusty pick-up. This is the best of the best, and apparently you can fit 82 cans of your finest ale inside. Also, you don't have to carry it. That's pretty sweet. #affiliate
YETI Wheeled Cooler
Oh! THAT'S how you camp with a baby! I always wondered where you put them when you did all the campy things that require two hands. I love that this comes with a canopy to keep the direct sun off of the baby. #affiliate
Baby Playard with Canopy
For me, getting bitten by potentially disease-ridden ticks is not a ‘glamorous’ part of camping. This insect repellant works well sprayed on the outside of clothes to keep ticks away. Some people will spray around the outside of their tent as well. If you ever use this, please follow the directions!! #affiliate
Permethrin Insect Repellent
This one is big. And the rechargeable battery inside is big too. Big enough to re-charge your USB-compatible devices! This lantern can give glare-free 360 deg lighting for your campsite. It can run up to 288 hours on ‘red-low’ setting, but that low lighting just sets the mood for romance! And I like that if Jerry gets drunk and throws it in the lake, it won't sink. #affiliate
Powerful Lantern
This is big enough for a table inside so you can eat your meals in peace. You know, without sharing your steak and baked potatoes with all the mosquitoes in the forest! #affiliate
12' X 10' Instant Screen House
Not that you need to charge your phones… right?? This is a ‘just in case’ glamping essential. You know, just in case the margarita machine runs out of juice. #affiliate
Portable Power Station
This one is so sweet because it looks like an old-school boombox. Hot tip: play some sounds of a really angry bear. Everyone will go home and you will have the campground to yourself. #affiliate
