Jun 2nd, 2012 at 4:00PM: We've all seen the pimped-out safari tents and palace-style camping retreats used for glamping; however, Gawler Ranges Wildness Safaris has taken luxurious camping to the next level with the introduction of the Swagon. The 100-year-old, Aussie-style wagon is "part swag, part wagon." And for those who don't know, swag refers to a queen-sized double mattress, used for extra comfort when roughing it ...Luxury Travel: Go 'Glamping' In NYC
Jun 1st, 2012 at 1:00PM: Want to get your glamp on? We at Gadling have had our fair share of fun with the term "glamping" and its addition to the travel lexicon, although we'll admit that our experience actually practicing the technique last summer was quite fun.
But now, travelers don't have to head to Adirondaks or Montana to camp, luxe style. AKA New York is launching the second "season" of its "Sleep Under the ...Travel Channel, National Parks Join For Summer Promo

...The Worst New Hybrid Words In The Travel Lexicon
May 18th, 2012 at 10:30AM:
This is the age of hybrids. We drive hybrid cars, we consume hybrid vegetables and our favorite love-to-hate celebrity couples have hybrid names.
The travel industry is rife with hybrid words. In every segment of travel, from backpacking to luxury travel, there lurks a new word ready to please with its practicality (voluntourism) or annoy with its clever mash-up of disparate terms ...Travel Smarter 2012: New hotel alternatives
Mar 18th, 2012 at 9:00AM:
While booking a hotel was once the standard when traveling, there are now a range of unique alternatives for every budget and preference. In 2012, it's now possible to stay in anything from an eco-friendly tree house to a tent with more amenities than a 5-star hotel. Here are some modern takes on the classic accommodation based on traveler personality:
Luxury travelers who want to get in ...Design Hotels launches Papaya Playa Project, a "pop up hotel" in Tulum, Mexico

Wildman Wilderness Lodge ...The ever-evolving language of travel
Oct 16th, 2011 at 12:00PM: While it is clear that travel itself has evolved in many ways in the past decade or so, it appears that travel language has, too. It is something that seems to happen overnight, without anyone really noticing that new vocabulary words are being invented but using them anyway. Check out this list of some relatively new lingo that has stuck in the language of travel.

While at one ...Glamping 101: What is "glamorous camping," exactly?
Aug 2nd, 2011 at 3:30PM:
For some, travel is about the adventure – the thrill of seeing new places, the draw of different foods, cultures and activities. Accommodations are simply a place to sleep – budgets are best spent on experiences. I am not one of those travelers.
While all travel experiences have a purpose – business, pleasure, relaxation, a show or specific attraction – all travel, at ...Paws Up Resort Deal: Celebrate Glamping
May 20th, 2010 at 12:00PM: The Resort at Paws Up has reason to celebrate. It's celebrating its fifth birthday and the opening of its third luxury tented camp, and these milestones, of course, come with a reason for you to head out to Montana to check the place out for yourself. There's a five-night, all-inclusive package for $2,413 a night that can't be missed.
In addition to staying in a two-bedroom tent at the new ...Sanctuary Swala reopens in Tanzania
Sep 15th, 2009 at 2:00PM: The Sanctuary Swala Camp has just reopened in Tanzania, and the luxury destination is ready for guests. The $1.5 million rebuild has updated the retreat's 12 canvas pavilions with covered open spaces, large living areas and en suite bathrooms. The indoor and outdoor showers sound particularly enticing to me. But, the best part is probably the view from the large private lounge decks, where you can ...Put your "Paws Up" and relax in Montana

The property boasts 10 villas of more than 3,000 square feet, not to mention smaller houses and canvas suites (i.e., luxury tents).

Jul 13th, 2007 at 1:25PM: Anytime I go camping, I inevitably find myself traipsing through dense woods in a search for firewood. Camping season is, unfortunately, also tick season, and it's rare to get back to the tent and not find a few of those nasty buggers latched onto my skin. Typically I spend some time hunting about my body, picking them off with varied success. They're pretty tough to get off! Kevin Kelly's got a ...The Original Canopy Chair
Jul 3rd, 2007 at 1:35PM:
It's amazing how fast those collapsible camping chairs came down in price. It seems like only a few years ago I picked one up for $20 or $30, and now you can find them two-for-$10 at Wal-Mart. Granted, they're poorly constructed at that price, but you get what you pay for. If you're willing to splurge a bit, Renetto has what they call the Canopy Chair. This comfy cousin to the cheapo is ...Keep Your Gadgets Charged on the Beach
Jun 21st, 2007 at 1:02PM:
Reware is selling what they call the "world's first heavy-duty solar beach tote" called the Juice Bag. The tote has an ultra-thin solar panel built into the side which harnesses the power of the sun and converts it into juice for your cellphone, digital camera, sombrero, or other gadgets you may bring to the beach to ruin with sand. Unfortunately it will not charge your laptop, as the solar ...Must-Haves for your iPhone Camp Out

"Handy for travel, camping, and 'on the go' activities, the nomad is a fork, a knife, a spoon and a bottle opener in one - that folds neatly into a plastic compact cover when not in use."

May 25th, 2007 at 1:40PM:
The traditional yurt -- first used in the nomadic cultures of Central Asia -- is being modernized and marketed towards the rich glampers of today. Leading this trend is the Nomad (above) yurt by Ecoshack.
