GLAMPING IN CALIFORNIA

If you haven't heard of glamping yet, this word is literally a combination of Glamour + Camping. Lately, it's taking to the world by storm. It's the perfect setup for people who want to be outdoors but not quite roughing it on the earthen floor with the bugs. If you're looking to visit California and get in some outdoor time without having to pitch a tent, then this is for you.

Here are a few places in California that are exceptionally unique.

Idyllic Dome-Shaped Tree House Nestled in Woods near Malibu, California.

Glamping in yurts along the spectacular Big Sur Coast at Treebones Resort. They definitely put the glamour in camping, running you about $300+/night.

El Capitan Canyon near Santa Barbara. These book up way in advance so book early!

Want to glamp in the desert, such as Joshua Tree? No problem! People think of everything. Check out Cultus Camp. $225/night (depending on season).

Camping along the coastal woods of Mendocino and at the mouth of Big River, in the northernmost part of California. Light breakfast and coffee delivered to your porch in the mornings. Rates run $135/night.

Spend the night in northern Sonoma under a million stars and the sound of waves crashing against the shore, perched in a safari tent 400 feet above the coast. Wake up to sweeping views of the Pacific. $250/night.
