While many of us value the outdoors, some find greater enjoyment in experiencing it from a distance. Luckily, glamping is a trend that makes the outdoors a little more luxurious for those who may not be interested in the idea of ‘roughing it’ in the wilderness. Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best glamping destinations across the South.
