A few years ago it was determined that staying in a good old-fashioned tent wasn’t the way to go—we needed to take it up a notch. And with that, glamping was born. Not only can you buy yourself a top-notch bell tent from operators such as Homecamp and set it up where you like, but there are a vast array of great destinations that have glamping tents set up and ready for you to book.
If you’re keen to go glamping in Victoria, you’re in luck. Victoria is home to many different glamping experiences. Inside these well-situated and stocked tents, you’ll find heaters, classy bedding, rugs, places to stash your things, and in some cases even food and wine ready for you to tuck into.
