Glamping

You can call it glamping or lux camping or “spoiled rotten in the great outdoors,” but we all know that one person who says their idea of roughing it is an aromatherapy bar that’s out of lavender packets. To make the other campers jealous, pack a few of these glamping essentials from REI (rei.com).
