Glamping Design on a Dime
Glamping also known as glamourous, luxurious camping conjures up images of 5-star fabulousness, but the truth is you can create a beautiful and luxurious glamping space on a budget. As a single mom of three, I definitely live on a strict budget that doesn’t allow for many extras. When I started to plan and prepare for my 1st glamping experience, I wondered if I could pull it off with limited funds. I’m here to tell you, it can be done with good planning, research and preparation. Your space can be luxurious without breaking the bank!
Choose a Theme or Color Scheme
The possibilities are endless. Last year I chose a Moroccan theme. I started with a basic color palette and built upon it from there. You don’t necessarily have to have a theme. You can use your favorite colors, sports team, and your favorite hobbies and create a look that works for you. Having a basic color palate will help tremendously when planning your glamping space.

Research!!!
Start at home and look for items around the house that would be great additions to your glamping space. After all, glamping really is about having the comforts of home or a 5 star hotel. Check garage and estate sales, thrift stores (sometimes you just need a little paint to upgrade something from basic to fabulous). Check the clearance sections of your favorite stores such as Bed, Bath and Beyond, or Home Goods or online at Walmart, Amazon and EBay. If you start now, you have time to grab items from online wholesalers such as Wish or Alibaba.
DIY!!!
If you are handy or crafty, try creating décor and centerpieces yourself. Pinterest has a wealth of ideas and YouTube is a great start for crafty how to videos. Last year, one of the Summer Oasis glampers created beautiful lanterns with mason jars, fairy lights and a little burlap. Beautiful lighting for just $5!! I found a few old planters around my house and spray painted them with a beautiful metallic paint to create the perfect centerpiece for my outdoor table. You may have items around the house that could use a little coat of paint or something extra to turn it into something really cool. Take existing pillows and add a new pillow case to create a fun decorative pillow for your sleep space. The possibilities are truly endless.
With enough research and proper planning you can have the basics to enjoy a beautiful glamping space and build on it each year you attend Summer Oasis and it doesn’t have to hurt your wallet!!!
