Glamping Design on a Dime

Glamping also known as glamourous, luxurious camping conjures up images of 5-star fabulousness, but the truth is you can create a beautiful and luxurious glamping space on a budget.  As a single mom of three, I definitely live on a strict budget that doesn’t allow for many extras. When I started to plan and prepare for my 1st glamping experience, I wondered if I could pull it off with limited funds.  I’m here to tell you, it can be done with good planning, research and preparation. Your space can be luxurious without breaking the bank!

Choose a Theme or Color Scheme

The possibilities are endless.  Last year I chose a Moroccan theme. I started with a basic color palette and built upon it from there.  You don’t necessarily have to have a theme. You can use your favorite colors, sports team, and your favorite hobbies and create a look that works for you. Having a basic color palate will help tremendously when planning your glamping space.

Grab that Checklist!!!

Did you download my Ultimate Glamping Checklist?  If you haven’t download it today!  It is a comprehensive list of everything you need to create a personalized glamping space and serves as a great guide as you get started planning your glamping weekend!!!

Research!!!

Start at home and look for items around the house that would be great additions to your glamping space. After all, glamping really is about having the comforts of home or a 5 star hotel.  Check garage and estate sales, thrift stores (sometimes you just need a little paint to upgrade something from basic to fabulous).  Check the clearance sections of your favorite stores such as Bed, Bath and Beyond, or Home Goods or online at Walmart, Amazon and EBay.  If you start now, you have time to grab items from online wholesalers such as Wish or Alibaba.   

DIY!!!

If you are handy or crafty, try creating décor and centerpieces yourself. Pinterest has a wealth of ideas and YouTube is a great start for crafty how to videos. Last year, one of the Summer Oasis glampers created beautiful lanterns with mason jars, fairy lights and a little burlap.  Beautiful lighting for just $5!!  I found a few old planters around my house and spray painted them with a beautiful metallic paint to create the perfect centerpiece for my outdoor table.  You may have items around the house that could use a little coat of paint or something extra to turn it into something really cool.  Take existing pillows and add a new pillow case to create a fun decorative pillow for your sleep space.  The possibilities are truly endless.

 With enough research and proper planning you can have the basics to enjoy a beautiful glamping space and build on it each year you attend Summer Oasis and it doesn’t have to hurt your wallet!!!

The Ultimate Glamping Checklist!!!

As the official blogger for the Summer Oasis Music Festival, the number one question I always receive from potential glampers is “What do I bring” and “How do I even begin to plan"?” Glamping is very different from a regular camping experience. Glamping is a form of camping that has more luxurious accommodations and facilities. The idea is to create a warm environment that feels like home!  Although Summer Oasis isn’t until August, I decided to put out a checklist for the potential glamper as you plan your Summer Oasis Experience. 

Remember, planning for your Summer Oasis experience DOES NOT have to break the bank!!! The key is organization and planning! Summer Oasis about 6 months away.  You can start to look around your house and or purchase items every month until August!!! I highly suggest looking online at Amazon, EBay and a few camping specialty stores. In addition, Walmart has great camping equipment when you are looking for the basics! Once you have your essentials, you can start to look for the little extras to give your glamping space personality and charm! Thrift stores, local boutiques and even a few things from home can turn your camping space into a fabulous glamping area!!!

Next month, I’ll have some more tips and checklists to help you plan your meals and pack your food to keep it over the weekend! Over the next few months, I’ll share a few of my favorite items such as tents, camp cooking equipment and more.  As always, stay connected with Black Widow’s Web and Summer Oasis for updates and news on this year’s regarding 2019 Summer Oasis Registration!!! This is an event like no other and is not to be missed!!!

Until next time,
