#JSETT Twitter Chat Recap: Camping vs. Glamping
Camping or glamping? Are you all about “roughing it” or do you require a hot shower and a comfortable bed for every vacation? We asked, you answered—and shared some of your favorite camping and glamping experiences.
Check out some of our favorite responses:
Q1: Are you a camper or a glamper? If neither, how likely are you to try one or the other?
A1 I’m a tent camper. Love camping in the #PNW I would try glamping though. Sounds fun. #JSETT

A1: Call me old fashioned, but I love pitching a tent & connecting with nature. Too many luxuries kinda defeats the point. #JSETT

Q2: What is the best campsite you’ve been to or the best glamping experience you’ve had?

Q3: If you camp, do you pack-in to your campsite or drive in? If you glamp, do you prefer a trailer or a luxury tent?
A3 We drive in. It’s super convenient to pack everything away in the car at night (away from the bears!) #JSETT

@JetsetExtra A3. Pre-kids we would hike in. Now – we use a trailer;) #JSETT

q3. I drive stuff in; I’m not hardy enough to think something’s fun without outhouses, running water, & a firepit. #JSETT

Q6: What is the draw for you to be a camper/glamper? What is you favorite camping/glamping meal?
A6: I love being out with nature. Rely on comforts so much it’s nice to get away from it all. #imacamper #jsett
— Jess is a Wanderer (@Jessisawanderer) May 7, 2015
A6. I love heading to the mountains, getting to see all the stars, relax with friends, & eat baked potatoes cooked in the firepit! #JSETT
— Vintage Girl Travels (@joannatravels) May 7, 2015
A6 I love hiking & hanging out w/friends & fam outdoors. Just not the overhead that goes with it! Oh, and s’mores, of course! #JSETT
— Heather Mundt (@momfari) May 7, 2015
A6. Shutting of my phone! No email! Also that thing called nature it’s pretty rad too! #JSETT
— Ed – RealManTravels (@EdRealManTravel) May 7, 2015
A6: For me, camping is about living off of the grid. Favourite is breakie. Bacon + eggs + coffee + Bailey’s Irish Cream = happiness #JSETT
