Homemade glamping - However, fear not, because you don't have to rent out a space in order to glamp. With a few objects, some effort, and a bit of imagination, you can set up your own glamping accommodation.

Plan ahead - Make sure you choose where you want to camp wisely, and check for animal or weather warnings in the area. Make a list of everything you want to take. Regardless of whether you're renting out a glamping property or setting up your own, the following items are a must when you pack...

Essentials - Suitable clothing and footwear, cooking gear, a first aid kit, toiletries and bug repellent.

12 / 26 Fotos
Tent - Your shelter is the most important part of your glamping adventure. Get yourself a nice big tent that is tall enough for you to stand up in, and big enough to include some luxury items.
© iStock
13 / 26 Fotos
Bedding - Say goodbye to sleeping bags and flat mattresses and hello to a big bed and soft pillows! A nice, comfy bed is a must when glamping. All you need is a big air mattress and some warm blankets, and you're all set.

14 / 26 Fotos
Lighting - Good lighting isn't just useful, it also adds to the glamping mood. A Moroccan-style lantern can be strapped to the tent's roof, and leaving a couple outside will also illuminate the whole outdoor area. Avoid candles in general.

15 / 26 Fotos
Furniture - A few pieces of furniture are what makes glamping a step above regular camping. A bedside table, some chairs and a table (if there's enough space), a pouf, and a wicker chest for your clothes will immediately spruce up your home-away-from-home.
© iStock
16 / 26 Fotos
Decor - Think about how you can make your glamping site feel more homely. Lighting and pillows are obvious choices, but consider a mirror or even some flowers or artwork to really rack up the luxury level.
© iStock
17 / 26 Fotos
Temperature - Although some glamping rentals are fitted with either air conditioning or stoves, if you're setting up your own camp, you might want to bring either a heater or fan to avoid suffering because of the high or low outside temperatures.
© iStock
18 / 26 Fotos
Outside the tent - If your tent is too small for lots of furniture, you can always take a few chairs and a table with you and set up the "dining room" outside. A barbecue, a hammock, and a few lights are also great additions to your glamping area.

19 / 26 Fotos
Footwear - Don't forget your tent is your home! Make sure you pack a pair of slippers so the dirty shoes can stay outside.
© iStock
20 / 26 Fotos
Kitchenware - In order to avoid lighting up a fire, a two- or three-burner gas stove is always a great alternative. Don't forget pots and pans, plates, cutlery, bowls and mugs... oh, and a cutting board and knife!
© iStock
21 / 26 Fotos
Food - Delicious food can also be easy to prepare. If you have a barbecue grill, why not go for some burger sliders? A yummy pasta dish is also easy to whip up and is sure to please everyone.
© iStock

Food - Also make sure you pack a cooler with ice, so you can take little boxes of fruits and veggies that you can snack on during the day.

23 / 26 Fotos
Dessert! - It's not a camping trip without a fun dessert! S'mores are a classic that are both easy to make and incredibly delicious.

Keep it clean
- Pack a small whisk broom so you can sweep out the tent and keep it nice and tidy at all times. Happy glamping! See also: Be amazed by these stunning jungle and rainforest destinations
