Ready to camp out in your backyard?
No tent, no worries...
No need to rough it. The beauty of backyard camping is it’s easy to bring out a mattress, an air mattress or even a swim float and as many pillows as you need to be comfortable. You also can run an extension cord and bring out a fan.

Ready to camp out but not ready to rough-it? Try Glamping!
Glamping is essentially camping with comfort. Instead of “roughing it” you opt to camp with luxury at your own comfort level.
Simple ways to "glamorize" your backyard experience include:
-
Storage containers that double as end tables
-
Delicious food- a step up from hot dogs & chips
-
Lanterns and/or Citronella candles
-
Cushioned rug at the entrance of the tent
-
Mini table to serve the food on
