Luxury Camping Gear

Try Luxury Camping Gear for Incredible Comfort

Luxury and camping -- these two words aren't usually thought to go together. That is, until now! These days, you can find an amazing variety of luxury camping gear to make roughing it a bit less...rough. This type of equipment is perfect for tentative campers whose idea of camping is spending the night in a Hilton hotel. There are even a variety of resorts around the country that cater to luxury-loving campers, offering them the amenities they require for a comfortable stay. But just what are these amenities? You might be surprised!

For example, the Chattanooga River Resort is a luxury campground that features bath houses adorned with gorgeous marble and ornate tile, and serves meals like filet mignon and fresh trout. It's not uncommon for camping resorts like this one to offer wireless Internet services, phone services and unbelievably, cable television. But what if you don't stay at one of these swanky sites? You can bring your own luxury to any camping site. Fashionable, portable camping furniture and feature packed camping stoves are examples of popular new gear available.

But that's not all. With a gas powered generator, you can have enough electricity for a television, radio and laptop computer. Portable, battery powered or electric refrigerators offer more than your old fashioned cooler, while inflatable beds bring the comfort of your bedroom to the middle of the forest. And what about when you have to answer the call of nature? You can do so in privacy with the new shelters that include a toilet, portable shower, window and eight foot walls. It's like setting up a bathroom in the middle of the woods. You'll find it's infinitely preferable to squatting behind a bush and bathing in a freezing stream.

So, does all this luxury camping gear take away from the authenticity and fun of a camping trip? Some traditionalists would say yes, while other campers would say no. After all, you're still in the wilderness. You're still surrounded by towering green trees with endless blue sky up above. You've still got to deal with cooking and eating outdoors, with the hassles of pesky insects and the unpredictable nature of the weather. No matter what you bring along with you, there's a limit as to how much luxury you can truly experience on a camping trip. This is definitely part of the allure of a vacation spent in the great outdoors.
