It’s easy to glamorize the idea of camping with visions of your family immersed in arcadian landscapes, drinking in elysian sunsets, traversing crystal-clear streams, stargazing into empyrean skies, and communing with winsome wildlife. Yeah, right!

The reality too often looks more like this: lugging your gear a half mile to the campsite (Who packed all this stuff?), tent construction requiring an engineering degree, petri-dish port-a-pots, beyond-questionable showers, invading platoons of mosquitoes, a slowly deflating air mattress (Didn’t notice that tree root when it was properly inflated.), and nights that are too hot or too cold. Are we having fun yet?

A Better Idea

It’s no wonder glamping has become such a popular alternative. “Glamping” rewrites that primitive camping scenario with camping that’s comfortable, luxurious, indulgent, safe — and actually relaxing. Glamping is “glamorous camping” that marries all the best aspects of a natural setting with modern, luxurious amenities and accommodations. Glamping allows travelers to embark on adventures in untamed and completely unique areas of our state, country, and world without sacrificing the creature comforts that make for a real vacation.

Across the globe, travelers are waking up in a heated or air-conditioned yurt on a mountaintop, settling into a treehouse atop a forest canopy, or enjoying a nighttime cocktail amid breathtaking panoramic views just outside their eco-lodge. Who says adventure can’t come with luxury? Now, thanks to the folks at Onera, we Texans can enjoy unique adventures in some of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas of our state in luxury and comfort. If you love the verdant beauty of the natural parts of our state, you’re going to love the way Onera is rewriting glamping adventure outside of Austin.
