<strong>Sober</strong> Activities: Glamping on a BudgetWhat is "glamping" you ask? Glamping is the glamorous <strong>and</strong> comfortable side of camping.This is not the hiking, backpack with a frying pan hanging off of it, water lugging, getting lost, rustic formof camping. This is the pack your car full of the conveniences of modern living, pull into a beautiful place,build a campfire, <strong>and</strong> hang out in nature. There are differing levels of glamping, from getting take-outChinese food <strong>and</strong> going to the local state park, to renting a treehouse, yurt, or tipi in such places as JoshuaTree, Lake Tahoe or Monterey. Some glampers even rent vintage VW camper vans to get them anywherethey want to go. For more information about all kinds of glamping vacation options check outwww.glamping.com.
