Many people love the idea of camping but it is not meant for everyone as it is too much of a hassle to set up a tent, light a bonfire, put up with bugs and eat basic tinned food such as sardines and baked beans. However, if you love the idea of setting up a camp minus the hassles and even enjoy small luxuries, you can go glamping or glamorous camping. Glamping blends the fun and adventure of camping with the glamorous luxuries and comforts of hotel-like accommodation. It has recently become a very popular activity in various parts of the world including New South Wales (NSW) in Australia. If you are planning to visit NSW, we can suggest certain places for glamping.
Paperbark Camp, Jervis Bay
Situated just a couple of hours from Sydney Jervis Bay, Paperbark Camp is a beautiful area. There are a lot of activities that you can indulge in at Jervis Bay, including bushwalking, biking, snorkelling, surfing and of course, glamping. The campsite includes twelve luxurious safari style tents along with an award winning restaurant. All the tents are placed on elevated wooden platforms.
Cockatoo Island, Sydney Harbour
Located just within a half an hour’s drive from New South Wales, Cockatoo Island is one of the most luxurious glamp sites in the area. It was opened as a camping site near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sydney Harbour. However, you will be provided a pre-erected bow tent along with 2 to 4 camping beds, lanterns, cushions, side-tables and sun lounges. You can choose to prepare your own camp-meals or get some delicious wood-fired pizza along with antipasto preparations.
Atlantic, Byron Bay
Situated in the Byron Bay, this place looks more like a boutique hotel/resort with amazing views. With just a few rooms and friendly yet professional staff, Atlantic offers accommodation in an American Airstream Trailer. Staying here truly ensures a one-of-a-kind experience. The famous caravan has been carefully designed to accommodate state-of-the-art luxury without losing out on the vintage charm. You will feel as if you have been transported to America in the 60s.
