Must-Have Accessories for Your Next Glamping Trip

Thinking about delving into the world of glamping? You’re in the right place.

For campers who are unfamiliar with the term glamping – it’s essentially camping, but with a modern twist. It would be accurate to say that glamping is a more luxurious form of outdoor holiday – for those who are wanting to experience what nature has to offer, but with comforts and upscale facilities.

Glamping allows campers to experience an outdoor holiday with comfort, ease, and let’s be honest – much less faffing involved. Not everyone likes to get down with nature the same way as off-grid seasoned campers do, and that’s okay.

At Winfields Outdoors, we’re passionate about all forms of outdoor camping, so glampers, this one’s for you. We’ve put together a list of accessories – specifically for glamping – that’ll give you those little touches of comfort to make your outdoor experience even more memorable.

Read on to find out more about the must-have accessories you need for your next glamping trip…

Lanterns

There’s nothing that sets the ambience on a camping trip quite like lanterns. Sometimes they’re a necessity – but in this instance, a luxury.

Remember, if you want to do glamping the proper way – you’ll want to create that cosy atmosphere as if you were at a home away from home. You won’t be able to flick a switch for light like you do at home (unless you’re in a glamping pod), so ensuring you have a well-lit camping area is essential for a memorable experience.

Nowadays, glamping lanterns are available as rechargeable additions, or even solar power only – with various personalised lighting options to ensure you can make your camping spot as dim or as bright as you’d like.

Strategically placed lanterns around your campsite can really make it feel like more of a natural retreat. We don’t expect you’ll want lights out as soon as it goes dark – so make sure you have some stylish lanterns, and gather around the campfire to roast marshmallows in comfort.

Flexible/Tube Lighting Systems

If you’re looking for an alternative to lanterns for your glamping lighting that won’t take up too much space, you could always opt for a more modern approach – Lumi link tube lighting.

Lumi link tube lighting is set up to go around the inner ceiling of tents and/or awnings, using a high-quality velcro-in system. These lighting systems come with a remote, so you can adapt the lighting of your chosen area to suit your preferences. They also tend to come with several different charging options.

Lumi link lighting systems are a great way to preserve the space of your glamping tent, whilst also providing you with access to sophisticated and modern lighting – which just like glamping lanterns, can be adapted to be as bright or as dim as you’d like.

Tent rugs and carpets

Tent rugs are often overlooked when it comes to traditional camping, however, investing in a high-quality tent rug is essential for creating that contemporary and stylish edge to your surroundings, whilst also adding valuable comfort – which is what glamping is all about.

Tent rugs (or carpets) offer your tent that extra luxurious feel and they’re lightweight, so you won’t need to worry about adding any significant weight to your luggage.

A luxurious tent rug or carpet will be not only stylish, but it’ll also have many practical qualities that will help with adding additional comfort.

A luxurious tent rug or carpet will be not only stylish, but it’ll also have many practical qualities that will help with adding additional comfort.

For example, tent rugs/carpets are water-repellent, and can also be thermal backed to ensure that your tent stays well insulated – creating a valuable touch of comfort, perfect for creating that cosy and snug feeling. It’ll also prevent any damp from accumulating.

In addition, having this glamping addition will also come in great use for keeping your tent clean, whilst ensuring a soft, warm, and carefree footing throughout your entire living area – even if you find yourself in adverse weather conditions or on a particularly hard campsite ground.

Contrary to the name, luxury tent rugs or carpets are that durable, they can also be used outside the tent as a stand-alone carpet addition.
