Top 10 Things to Leave at Home When Glamping
Thoughts on Bluegreen vacations typically include notions of relaxation, rejuvenation and even elation, if one is excited enough about an upcoming trip. Opinions associated with planning and packing checklists are often less pleasant, however, and can stir up feelings of aggravation and exhaustion.If you are debating a camping trip as your next source of vacation relaxation, but are wary of the planning and precautions necessary to ensure a successful venture, ditch the camping checklist and opt for something a bit more glamorous. Glamping in a yurt is an exceptional alternative to tents and sleeping bags. Yurts, the traditional traveling homes of Mongolia, are safe, sound and sustainable. Yurts can accommodate a romantic weekend camping trip, family camping adventure or lodging for a group ski trip.
Rather than spend your time running through the infinite camping checklist of things you will need for a traditional camping excursion, check through these top 10 things you don't need to worry about when glamping in your yurt at Shenandoah Crossing. Remember, you are going on a Bluegreen vacation so you can relax. You need not worry about the following:
Tents are small and lightweight, so they can be easily carried. Unfortunately, the traits that make them easily transportable are the same features that result in leaks, drafts and instability. A yurt is like a tent on steroids, and SO EXCITED for you to visit.
2. Awkward to carry tent poles and ground tarps
Most family comedies that feature a camping trip include a scene with a frustrated father battling a slew of tent poles. They are hard to manage and even harder to remain calm with. Ground tarps never serve their purpose and are heavy. Make the load as light as possible by ditching these and opting for the round, sturdy walls of a yurt.
Sleeping on the ground is so passé. Experiencing the outdoors does not have to include fretting over holes in your bedding. Glamping allows a good night's sleep on a pillow top mattress inside your yurt.
4. Lanterns
And the resort owners said, "Let there be light." The yurts at Shenandoah Crossing are fully equipped with lights, so put that old kerosene thing away.
5. Matches, lighters and other fire-starting utensils
Bluegreen's Shenendoah Crossing provides every glamper with an outside grill, as well as interior kitchen amenities. While you may want to carry matches for some other reason, you won't need them to cook your dinner. The yurts have central heat and air; so if it gets a bit chilly out, turn the heat up.
6. Fresh water and jugs
Full kitchen, filtered water. Glamping does not require you to drink from creeks.

7. Instant coffee
When you are glamping inside your luxury yurt, you will be privileged to a real-life coffeemaker, rather than that tin percolator you've been toting around for years. Everyone knows that first cup of coffee in the morning is the greatest, and campers know how hard it is to make good campfire coffee a reality.
At Shenandoah Crossing, sleeping in a yurt is known as "glamping," and should never be confused with eating what you can carry in your backpack. The yurt is large, and contains many things, including a fridge, stove and oven. There need not be granola in your life unless you actually like it.
9. Bear-proof food containers
We've all heard the stories and seen the pictures of the hungry bear who just so happened to destroy a tent, sleeping bag, pillow, backpack and car trying to get to that bag of peanuts that was mistakenly left the pocket of someone's jeans. While wildlife is abundant at Shenandoah Crossing, a bear is not likely to climb up your large wooden deck and tap on your yurt's windows. Plus the latticed walls are strong and cover the windows as well, which creates a strong barrier against entry.
Bluegreen owners know that, like all other resorts, Shenandoah Crossing yurts are blessed with fully equipped kitchens, including pots, pans and flatware.
If a camping trip is next on your Bluegreen vacation to-do list, the glamorous yurts of Shenandoah Crossing will prove to be a great alternative. Your camping checklist will shrink dramatically and your love of glamping will undoubtedly grow.
