Get Your Glamp On

Combine back-to-basics fun with rustic-chic accommodations, excellent cuisine and beautiful scenery, and the result is “glamping”—glamorous camping—one of the most fun ways to spend a vacation. Guests enjoy all the pleasures of retreating into nature while avoiding the less pleasant camping chores, like pitching a tent or cooking all your meals. Here, Indagare highlights 10 of our favorite luxurious wilderness getaways.
