In reply to Amy Benoit. Great suggestion Amy - and we have a propane fire bowl for the glampy-times, for the exact reasons you mention ALSO good for when there are fire bans at campsites!!

GREAT (and fun) article, Marcy.
We used to glamp a lot and you hit on practically all of my “must haves.”
Off the top of my head though, I’d never leave on a glamp without a french-press and a hand-crank grinder for the worlds best camp-coffee. Coffee just tastes better by a campfire.
Also, as much as I initially resisted the idea of it, a propane firebowl is a wonderful thing to have along. I get that some haters will argue that they don’t get the campfire smell of burning wood, but also, you don’t go to bed smelling all smokey, you don’t have to shift your chair around as the wind shifts directions, and you don’t have to worry about extinguishing it before bed. Nope, instead, you flip a switch, and it is lit and warm, and when you’re done, you simply turn it off. It allows for easy fire-time over morning coffee pre-hiking without all of the fuss you might consider if you just want a fire for 20 minutes.
Happy Camping! New Zealand looks amazing so far.

Loved this blog, Marcy! You shared some great tips and tricks for a beginner camper. I can’t wait to get a mason jar for those sunsets in UT 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!!

oh my gosh Kierstin – you’re right. So simple but overlooked … hangers! Thank you 😀

SUPER simple item, but hangers! If you’re beach camping, you can hang dry a bathing suit or wetsuit. And in all types of camping, you can hang jackets so they are accessible as they would be in a coat closet! Plus it helps to air everything out.

Great blog, Marcy! I read every word, and you almost got me wanting to go camping. I loved the photo of you with your dad as a little girl going glamping. I did take my kids glamping once. We camped on our driveway in a friend’s RV! We had a blast, ate s’mores, watched the stars from our sleeping bags on the grass, but slept inside the RV.
