    You forgot about the fabulous costumes and the sparkly girlie products that smell so great. Silly string and glow sticks are pretty nice to have as well.

    Well let me to simply say that I love your blog first of all. Aside from that, I would like to mention that I am a big believer in genuine quality in my camping tools. I think that it's better to buy expensive, but quality gear rather than spend little money on bad craftsmanship equipment. It pays off in the end.

    beach towels that are made of cotton are nice, they also last longer compared to synthetic fabrics*:.

    A screened room is so helpful on these Glamping trips. If you smell good the bugs love you so a screened room that you erect next to your tent is essential. I also erect a shower stall with a porta potty so I can be as far away from the bathrooms as I want. Much calmer space. And, isn’t that what campings all about.

    Fantastically detailed list! I love to camp in a retro campervan, but I think I’ll need 2 of them to take all of this and my personal gear for glamping etc.

    Thanks for sharing. Sarah
