If you are like me, you don't go camping. Ever! Why? Something about sleeping on the ground, rocks under me, and the convenience of modern necessities is more my style.

When a friend mentioned they were going Glamping, I knew that was something for me. So the best part is we can do it in New York State.

Glamping elevates one of life's simple pleasures, sleeping in the great outdoors, with comforts and modern conveniences. There's no tent to set up (that would be fun to watch me do that), no hard rocks underneath your sleeping bag, and no outhouses. Yes, no outhouses!!

Harmony Hill Retreat Center
Harmony Hill Retreat is located on the western edge of the Catskills. Glamping at Harmony Hill's is different as it is a combination of cabin and camping in a Yurt. Your Yurt has electricity, flushable toilets, lockable doors, a king-size bed, reading chairs, lamps, and a fully equipped kitchen. You can also cook on the charcoal grill outdoors if you want to grill.

Collective Retreats-New York City
Take a private water taxi to Governors Island to stay either in one of three types of Glamping tents overlooking the Statue of Liberty. Two tents, Summit and Outlook Shelter, offer private bathrooms with running hot water, a luxury spa soaking tub, and a kingsize bed. The Journey Tents provide more of a communal experience. They're slightly closer together and share a bathroom but are still lovely and comfortable.
