What People are saying!
This private beachfront campground is on the river, it couldn't be more perfect. We camped out for the first time with our 2 and 4 year olds during one of their "Glampouts". I kayaked for the first time with my 4 year old daughter, it was easy and a fun experience. We are already planning a group event for our family and friends less than a month from when we went!

The Glampout was a lot of fun! Great value for the money. It was our first kayaking experience but we'll definitely go back again! And super close to Starved Rock State Park if you want to do some awesome hiking before heading home!

We had a great time camping with this group.  We had our own campsite but participated in the group events. They really made it feel like a community but we were also able to do our own separate things as well.  We had a community bbq and they had a fire and movie everyone had so much fun!

Glamping: The Glamorous Way to Enjoy Nature
Gone are the days when camping meant sleeping on the ground in a basic tent, cooking over a campfire, and using communal toilets. Today, camping has taken on a whole new level of glamour with the emergence of glamping, a trend that combines the beauty of nature with the comforts of home.
What is Glamping?
Glamping, a term that originated from the fusion of "glamorous" and "camping," is a upscale form of camping that provides all the amenities and convenience of home while allowing guests to stay in the great outdoors. Glamping accommodations vary widely in style and size, from yurts and treehouses to safari tents and Airstream trailers.
Glamping experiences often come with comfortable beds, private bathrooms, and even air conditioning and heating to ensure guests have a comfortable stay. Many glamping sites also offer additional amenities, such as hot tubs, fire pits, and private decks, to help guests relax and enjoy the stunning natural surroundings.
Why Glamping?
Glamping offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse oneself in nature without sacrificing the comforts of modern living. It's a great way to experience the beauty of the great outdoors without having to rough it.
Glamping is also a great option for people who may be hesitant to try traditional camping because of concerns about safety, comfort, or cleanliness. With glamping, guests can enjoy the serenity of nature without any of the typical camping inconveniences.
Where to Glamp?
Glamping sites can be found all over the world, from national parks to private farms and vineyards. Some of the most popular destinations for glamping include:
- California: With its stunning coastline, mountains, and deserts, California has numerous glamping options, from beachfront yurts to luxury treehouses.
- Colorado: Colorado is a glamping paradise, offering guests the chance to stay in rustic cabins, luxury tents, and even a converted train caboose.
- Montana: Montana's rugged terrain and vast wilderness make it an ideal destination for glamping. Guests can stay in luxury tents, log cabins, and even treehouses.
- Illinois: The Starved Rock area has beautiful and rugged terrain unlike anywhere else in the state. Starved Rock State Park welcomes 3 million visitors a year and boasts 18 canyons. Kayak Starved Rock Campground is just adjacent to the park and features GLampOut events for everyone of all ages to enjoy.
- South Africa: South Africa offers a unique glamping experience with safari-style tents set in the middle of wildlife reserves.
Glamping is a unique and luxurious way to experience the great outdoors. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, glamping offers something for everyone. So why not escape the stresses of everyday life and indulge in a glamping adventure?
