Camping always captures the imagination, and never loses its appeal due our ability to rekindle an organic and rustic connection with Mother Nature. However, sometimes camping becomes a little too rugged and rough, as Mother Nature alienates some of her fans. In recent years, luxury resorts have developed the solution to this problem- “glamping.”
A portmanteau of glamor and camping, glamping has become quite a popular trend in the resort industry over recent years. Campers tend to be people who have higher overall levels of happiness, optimism, satisfaction and energy. Although not everyone immediately jumps at the chance to subsist on Spam cooked over Sterno in the bush for a week. The vacation industry addresses this problem by providing 5 star luxury accommodations in the wildest of places.
Before you plan your glamping vacation, realize that not all glamping trips are created equally. Some are adventurous, some are romantic, some are rustic, and some are focused on offering the finest 5 star comfort. First decide which type of glamping experience you’re interested in most, then select the resort destination. Many countries attract glampers, but perhaps the country that’s become the best known glamping destination is Australia.
One of the better, adventurous glamping resorts lies in Maryvale, Queensland. If arriving by way of Brisbane, consider sorting out car hire plans there, to take the one and a half hour drive to Spicers Canopy Resort. Spicers Canopy combines high quality glamping with luxury adventure and hiking.
Situated in the heart of the breathtaking Scenic Rim, the luxury camping getaway grants a rich ecotourism and safari-style experience, while facilitating up-close encounters with some of Australia’s most beautiful plants, animals and wildlife. Sitting next to the Main Range National Park, Spicers will make your spirit smile with its amazing views, great bushwalking and fantastically appointed accommodations.
Whether you’re enjoying the gourmet meals, some 2012 Terre del Noce Pinot Grigio or relaxing in your king size bed with feather pillows and Bemboka throws and blankets, Spicers will undoubtedly put you in a state of bliss and create lifelong memories. Glamping packages start at $350 USD for single night stays including breakfast and dinner, and 4 day Scenic Rim trail hiking packages start at $1,665 USD, all inclusive. That’s a small price to pay for a slice of pure solitude in the land down under.
