4 Spectacular Idaho Glamping Spots

Before you go glamping this summer, you need to know what glamping is, then you'll need to know what to pack and finally where to go. The good news is that we live in the ultimate state for glamping. It truly doesn't get any better than Idaho. If you enjoy camping, glamping may not be for you. Camping is about being uncomfortable and eating food that you pull out of the lake. Glamping is about being comfortable and enjoying the best local food available. Camping is about putting up a tent. Glamping is about sleeping in a luxurious yurt or airstream.

When I first hear the term glamping, I assumed that it was about staying in a fancy hotel at night and spending the day in nature. The truth is that glamping is staying in nature in luxurious accommodations. Yurts, wagons, trailers, lodges, and treehouses are examples of popular glamping accommodations.
