Oh yeah, plus you never have to wrestle with that tent setting it up in the rain!

Glampful is located in the foothills of the Adirondacks in Broadalbin and offers all the luxuries of home with the thrill of the outdoors. Here is what I Love NY has to say about this luxurious Glampful camping experience:

...on 50 bucolic acres in Broadalbin near Great Lake Sacandaga, immerse yourself in the great outdoors without sacrificing modern comforts in eight safari tents, each tastefully furnished with plush beds, hardwood floors, and private decks, along with access to nearby bathrooms and hot showers. Hike through wetlands, forest, and meadows, stargaze under clear skies, gather around the fire, and enjoy other activities from live music to yoga and fishing and kayaking.

Glampful, in a nutshell, offers the beauty and wonder of the great outdoors, lakefront access to Sacandaga, and all the comforts of a hotel. If you stay at Galmpaful, you will still need some of the camping basics like the right clothes and a cooler, but the site provides everything from firewood to fresh water and coffee, to a continental breakfast on the weekends to make your stay an easy one!
