Even the most skeptics are becoming more interested in camping these days. While the great outdoors is appealing, sleeping on the ground and having no access to running water is not for everyone. However, this should not prevent anyone from spending the night under the stars. Glamping is a clever portmanteau that combines camping and glamour for a romantic, elegant, and comfortable experience. 

If camping is not for you and you do not want to stay in a hotel, glamping is the perfect way to reconnect with nature without sacrificing your creature comforts. Of course, it raises questions, as does any adventure or unique experience. You may wonder where the best glamping spots in Europe are, and how to know what to look for when planning a trip. So here’s a list of places in Europe where elegance meets earthy for a night in the woods.
