Let’s be honest, the thought of a camping weekend is a dream for some and a disaster for others. But if you want to relax under the stars without the grime and a bit of glitz? Glamping is the buzz term you need to know. Glamping was added to the Oxford Dictionary in 2016 and can be defined as “a type of camping, using tents and other kinds of accommodation, facilities, etc. that are more comfortable and expensive than those usually used for camping.” If this sounds like you here is our guide to the best glamping in Victoria.
Glamping has also risen up the ranks as it has a low impact on the environment. Most facilities are made from sustainable resources and are built in a way that doesn’t have a huge impact on the environment.
