I did grow up at the beach and even though I'm camping or Glamping Light I want to feel stylin'. This is how I do it.

Hand Painted Tables From India - by Camping With Soul Image This is what I'm talking about as far as Glamping Goes my style. This site it from the UK called Camping With Soul. Poster - From Camping With Soul Here is what they say: Camping with Soul is for people who love flopping back somewhere calming at the end of a dirty day at a festival; for people who like to camp soft with fresh pillows, a duvet, a self-inflating mattress and a martini; who decorate their camp with ruined Persian rugs, sheepskins and silky drapes they picked up somewhere hot; who always have a hubbub of friends giggling in their tent. Who hunt out exquisite beauty spots and negotiate a couple of nights and some fresh milk in the morning with the local farmer; who love lying in dappled woods with their kids, and watching the shadows stretch at sunset; who daydream about wilderness fishing in cool Norwegian summers; who leave no trace when they pack up camp.
