Opt for a Tent You Can Actually Stand Up In

Start by swapping your low-profile tent for one you can stand up in. Just as in brick and mortar homes, higher ceilings always make a space feel more luxurious.

Cover Your Dirty Tent Floor With Stylish and Soft Foam Floor Tiles

Foam floor tiles create a soft surface that is far more stylish (and comfortable!) than the tent floor. Bring enough to surround the perimeter of your bed and usher in the luxe vibes. Best of all, they're easy to assemble and take up hardly any packing space once stacked.

Bring a Real Air Mattress and Get Some Beauty Sleep

No one likes sleeping on the ground. Instead of a thin sleeping pad that hardly makes a difference, bring along a real air mattress. While you're at it, skip the manual pump and pack a pump that runs on your car's 12-volt outlet or an adapter.

Forgo Sleeping Bags in Exchange for Plush Blankets and Bedding

Plush blankets and high thread-count sheets take up hardly any more room than a sleeping bag, but the difference in comfort more than makes up for any lost space.

Add Plenty of Pillows to Give Your Bed a Luxurious Coziness

Go the extra style mile and layer in lots of pillows for a plush, cozy escape.

Toss a Comfy Throw on Top of Your Bed for Chilly Evenings

Finish your picture-perfect bedding with a warm throw for those extra chilly evenings. It will do double duty around the campfire or wrapped around your shoulders in the morning.

Make a Nightstand Out of a Wooden Storage Crate

A wooden storage crate is a great way to haul gear to your campsite. Turns out it's also multifunctional, as a makeshift nightstand. A stack of your favorite campsite reads and a petite potted plant make your tent's interior feel just like home.

When it's time to head home, fill it up with those hard-to-pack items and pack it in the car.

Layer Rugs to Keep Dirt Outside While Boosting Your Campsite Style

Layering a couple of cute rugs at the edge of the tent gives it an adorable, homey aesthetic while ensuring as little dirt as possible enters the interior.

Position Pretty Folding Stools Around the Tent's Entrance

Outside of the tent, flank the entrance with a couple of pretty folding stools. Need extra seating around the fire? Just grab a stool on your way out of the tent.

Bring a Basket for Dirty Shoes Outside Your Tent

To keep a tent clean during a glamping trip, position a basket right outside of the door for your dirty shoes. This functional idea will also improve the atmosphere inside the tent, improving the luxurious aspect of your camping-turned-glamping effort.
