Garden flags and solar landscape lights are perfect outdoor accessories to take your site decorating to GLAMPer level while being responsible and not degrading nature.
Outdoor kitchen with everything a GLAMPer could need to whip up gourmet al fresco meals.
No chopping firewood for this GLAMPer! Pick up a handy bundle or two from Park Office and you're set for telling campfire tales.
Impress fellow GLAMPers with your secret weapon for Creme Brulee like S'mores made from Peeps, as sugarcoating caramelizes into a cracklin' texture reminiscent of the French classic.
Set the mood with a Citronella candle and lose the bugs. Add fresh flowers for huge GLAMPer style points.
Place air mattress on top of thermal mats and pile on the luxury linens for cloud-like sleeping. Create ambiance with a tray of flameless candles atop campstool. String faerie lights to go full GLAMP.
Bagel and smear makes for a quick and hardy breakfast to fuel your GLAMPing activities. And yes, of course it's Greenfield's Bagels & Deli.
Want to make a splash? Safety tip, grab a loaner personal floatation device (PFD) at the Life Jacket Loaner board if you're on Lakes Hartwell, Jocassee, or Keowee.
