When A Night Under Canvas Comes With Glamour And Comfort Many of us enjoyed camping when we were younger, but now we need a little more comfort when we take a short break from city life. Fortunately, camping in Vietnam has got glamorous.
A
night spent under canvas, on the shores of a lake or a beach, surrounded by the sounds of nature and below a starstudded sky is an experience most of us will have had at some point in our lives. Many of us have fond memories of leaving the hectic city for a couple of nights spent in a tent, building a campfire, fishing for dinner then cooking a BBQ with friends. But let’s face it, as we get a little older, camping doesn’t have quite the appeal it did when we were younger.

There’s a lot to carry, even for just a couple of nights. Sleeping on the hard ground plays havoc with our ageing backs, insects find their way into the food, walking to the bathrooms in the pitch dark is not much fun, and when you get there the shower water is always cold. We miss the comforts of home, a decent bed, mosquito net, perhaps even an en suite bathroom. Somewhere to eat a hot meal so we don’t have to play around with a fire, and a good wifi connection.
