There’s no denying that camping is a great way to experience the great outdoors. However, camping isn’t for everyone, so what can you do if you want to go on a family camping trip, but one of your group would rather stay in a hotel?

One option is to compromise and have a more luxurious camping adventure. Glamping, as the term is known, has risen in popularity in recent years. The following are some essential items you need to create the ultimate luxury camping adventure for you and your group:

1. Off-Road Camper

There’s undoubtedly plenty of camping sites that you can visit that offer amenities such as electrical hook-ups, shower and washing facilities, and entertainment venues. However, if you want to experience a true camping adventure, you would go off the beaten track.

Camping in a remote location offers plenty of peace and tranquility, along with much scope for exploring. You should consider hybrid campers as you want something that will endure moving across rugged terrain than a traditional RV.

Hybrid campers also offer better shelter and protection from the elements than pitching up an ordinary tent.

2. Generator

When you go on a luxury camping trip, you will undoubtedly want to enjoy the luxuries of home such as electricity, heating and cooling, and cooking facilities. With some items, you can use gas to power your appliances.

You need an electricity source for everything else – something that’s hard to come by in the middle of the wilderness. That’s why it makes sense to take a portable generator with you. The good news is many diesel or gasoline generators are quiet in operation.

3. Satellite TV

Once you’ve spent the day exploring, you’d like nothing more than to sit back and relax. However, enjoying the silence of your remote outpost or reading a book will only get you so far before boredom ensues.

With that in mind, consider taking a satellite TV system with you for your luxury camping trip. You can easily position your satellite dish using a handy satellite finder gadget, and when you connect it to a small LED TV, you can soon enjoy your favorite TV programming.

4. Cushions, Blankets, and Pillows

The days of sleeping inside a sleeping bag on a rock-hard surface are gone. There’s no reason why you can enjoy a restful night’s sleep lying on a bed of cushions, covering yourself with soft wool blankets, and laying your head down on comfortable pillows.

It’s even possible to take a roll-up mattress and a quick-assembly bed so that you don’t have to brave the cold by sleeping on ground level.

5. Portable Refrigerator

While cool boxes are great for keeping things chilled, you need to place some ice packs inside them to ensure cold temperatures for as long as possible. Thankfully, that’s not a problem you need to consider if you take a portable refrigerator with you.

You’ll need a power source for it, of course, such as a diesel or gas generator. But, your food and drink will always get kept cold, just like at home.
