Frequently asked questions
Glamping, or glamorous camping, is a form of camping that combines the comfort and amenities of high-end accommodation with the experience of outdoor living. Unlike traditional camping where you sleep in a tent and use basic camping equipment, Glamping offers more luxurious accommodation such as domes, safari tents, wooden cabins, yurts, teepees and transparent bubbles.
Glamping usually offers comfortable beds, stylish furniture, electricity, a private bathroom with hot water, an equipped kitchen and sometimes even full hotel services, spas, swimming pools, organized activities, etc. It allows people who want to enjoy nature and the outdoors without sacrificing comfort to enjoy a more luxurious camping experience.
Glamping has become increasingly popular in recent years, offering travelers an alternative between hotels and traditional camping. It allows you to get closer to nature while enjoying high-end comfort.
We supply all the essentials, including body wash (Oneka), shampoo (Oneka), salt, pepper, sugar, cooking oil, coffee (Bodum, stove-top espresso maker, milk frother), tea, tea pot, towels, linens, and much more. Additionally, we provide 6 logs per night with starter wood and a lighter. If you need more logs, you can bring them with you, or we can provide additional logs during your stay for $8 per set of 6 logs. We recommend bringing a flashlight, as we use solar lights for outdoor lighting, and they may run out of power eventually.
We recommend bringing the following items:
1. Lighter
We provide lighters in the domes, but they may stop working during your stay. While we are available to bring you one if needed, it is more practical to bring your own.
2. Extra Towels
We provide one towel per person. However, as some guests prefer to have more, we suggest bringing additional towels based on your needs. We remain available to provide extra towels during your stay if required.
3. Additional Fire Starter
For the fireplace, we provide 6 logs per night, kindling, and a fire starter. We recommend bringing newspaper or another fire starter that meets fireplace safety standards, as you may need it. We are always available to provide anything you need during your stay.
4. Tissues
We provide toilet paper and paper towels, but we do not supply tissues. We suggest bringing your own.
5. Non-Slip Boots (in winter)
In winter, with freezing and thawing cycles, ice may form on the paths. While we regularly sand and break the ice to ensure safe access, we recommend bringing non-slip, comfortable boots as a precaution. The distance between the parking area and the dome is short, but this recommendation is to maximize your comfort and safety.
6. Cooler (if needed)
We provide a small hotel-style refrigerator. Depending on your needs, we recommend bringing a cooler if you require additional refrigeration space.
