Glamping is a mashup of the words “glamorous” and “camping”. Some also call it glorious camping, boutique camping, or luxury camping. Whatever the word composition, it should really be named “comfortable camping”, as glamping is the act of sleeping in nature with all the creature comforts of home.

We first encountered glamping while on safari in Botswana in 2009. We enjoyed it so much that we began exploring glamping options across Europe, including Italy, Greece, Belgium, France, and the UK. We stayed in bell tents, rail road cars, converted buses, yurts, shepherd carts, geodesic domes, and even a tree house.
We decided to put a little Appalachian twist on the concept and built 5 cozy wooden huts. This would keep Wild Yough more true to the “camping” side of things while still bringing a bit of luxury to our guests.
