10 Gorgeous Glamping Spots Around the Philippines

When talking about camping, you’d probably picture scenes from Survivor, Man vs. Wild, or The Island with Bear Grylls. These reality shows, of course, are exaggerated versions of your own camping trips. But sometimes, you just don’t want to deal with pitching your own tent or making your own fire. Good thing there’s glamping, a portmanteau of glamorous camping, in which you have the luxury of a pre-pitched tent with airbeds, a bedsheet, a blanket, and a pillow—all while still being close to nature. It’s like going on a vacation in a hotel minus the building.
