These [Cacoon tree tents](http://loopeedesign.com/index.php/cacoon-double.html) can be small enough for kids, or at their largest, can fit two adults. They combine the comfort of a hammock with the shelter of a tent. Plus, you look like you're ensconced in the cutest droplet. ($250-$489)

Your tent is the pièce de résistance of the campground, and some beigey, nylon contraption will not do. Luckily, [Field Candy](http://www.fieldcandy.com/us/tents-and-camping/original-explorer) has a line of fancy printed tents you can choose from—or you can design your own. While these tents definitely lean toward the aesthetic, they aren't some flimsy kiddie toys: They're waterproof, fade resistant, and "able to stand up to extreme weather conditions." They're best suited for two or three people. ($300-$650)

If shades of orange, yellow, white, and blue aren't really cutting it, you can add a rainbow range to your campfire. [Mystical Fire flame colorant](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009E8KJHS/) ($15.50) turns your fire into a psychedelic light show. Just be sure not to roast anything over those brilliant hues—these flames are purely for show, not for cooking.

For a truly modern take on glamping, forgo the custom tent and hole up inside a hypoallergenic heaven. If a transparent home-away-from-home is too exhibitionist for you, [Holleyweb's Inflatable Bubble Tent House](http://www.amazon.com/HolleywebTM-Inflatable-Bubble-Outdoor-Camping/dp/B00PR3BJYQ/) ($1,200) also makes a great campground den, especially for rainy weekends in the outdoors. All it needs are sheepskin throw pillows and an accent rug and you're set.
05glamping-5
You totally need a sweet accent rug. One Kings Lane has a variety of [outdoor-friendly rugs](https://www.onekingslane.com/product/63381/1385130) ($399) that can really tie your outdoor room together. And the bigger the better: You want this bad boy to add an element of woodsy refinery to the experience. Bonus points if you can find one with fringe on it.

Wine is to glamping what beer is to camping. But with all those rocks, trees, and rowdy children about, unbreakable glasses are an absolute must. This set from [Butler in the Home](http://www.amazon.com/Unbreakable-Silicone-Shatterproof-Tailgating-Butler/dp/B00R9V8FC8/) ($12) is made of silicone, so each stemless goblet is flexible, shatter-proof, and easy to wash.

While the fire pit and a propane stove satisfies most of your glamping food prep needs, the outdoorsy baker needs more. When you place a [Coleman Camp Oven](http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000016462-Camp-Oven/dp/B0009PURJA/) ($28.59) on top of a Coleman camping stove, it transforms the whole assembly into an oven. The box folds flat and isn't terribly heavy (just 7 pounds), so it's no trouble to toss in the trunk. This means you have no excuse not to make cinnamon rolls.
08glamping-8
The glow of stars and a roaring fire have their appeal, but they aren't always enough to keep your campsite festive. Flashlights, lanterns and glow-sticks don't offer quite the right ambience, either. These [outdoor string lights](http://www.amazon.com/NEWSTYLE-Crystal-Powered-Halloween-Christmas/dp/B00PSGOZUC/) ($15) come in a variety of hues and are solar-powered---as well as waterproof, should your evening take a stormy turn.
09glamping-9
For an especially whimsical look to your campsite lighting, these solar-powered [copper wire string lights](http://www.amazon.com/Version-Powered-Ambiance-Lighting-Christmas/dp/B00X9YWYM6/) ($21) are a nice touch. They'll transform your youngster's tent (or your own tent) into the mythical Land of Faeries.

Glamping is all about glamour, and there is nothing at all glamorous about a latrine or outhouse. You'll want to pick up a few things to create the perfect outdoor bathing, changing, and water closet experience. First, get a shelter of some sort—preferably [this dual shower/changing room](http://www.amazon.com/Instant-2-Room-Changing-Shelter-Outdoor/dp/B00KAFFSNO/). ($139.95)
11glamping-11
You'll also want a proper toilet. Sorry, there is no pretty options here, but [this portable toilet](http://www.amazon.com/Camco-41541-Portable-Toilet-gallon/dp/B004SFKJIQ/) ($70.89) is the best model to get. Just pay somebody to empty it.
12glamping-12
Just because you're in the woods, you shouldn't show up for pre-dinner cocktails looking like you live in the woods. Keep yourself smelling fancy in the forest with [this solar shower](http://www.amazon.com/GAME-4376-Outdoor-Solar-Shower/dp/B0037Z7N6O/) ($180.29). Set it up inside your portable shelter or just use it for beach- or lake-side rinsing off .
13glamping-13
The outdoors are only relaxing if you can sleep comfortably, so you'll want a luxurious slumbering situation. A cot will not do. The [Coleman Queen Airbed](http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Queen-Airbed-Tables-Battery/dp/B00AU6AVLW/) ($150) has pull-out side tables with cup holders and plenty of under-bed storage—while also being damn cozy.
14glamping-14
And what to place atop that beautiful airbed? A double sleeping bag, of course. The [queen-sized camp bed for two](http://www.amazon.com/Sports-Mammoth-Flannel-Sleeping-Degree/dp/B000F38YHI/) ($128) is lined with brushed poly-flannel, stuffed with fiber insulation, and is rated to zero degrees Fahrenheit, so it'll keep you and your partner's tootsies toasty 'til dawn.

If your destination is too warm for a sleeping bag, make your airbed up just like home. [This Pendleton set](http://www.amazon.com/Pendleton-Glacier-National-Cotton-Flannel/dp/B00YO3X0QK/) of 100 percent cotton flannel sheets is pricey, but perfect. You get one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two pillowcases. ($270 for Queen)

Forget the noodle—that's for plebeians. You haven't experienced the joy of a lake or a trampoline until you've combined them. The [Rave Aqua Launch](http://www.bartswatersports.com/catalog/Water_Trampolines/Rave_Aqua_Launch_TY8247/index.asp) ($600) is a "water trampoline" that will add a bit of hangtime your next lakeside campout. Besides, if you haven't dreamed about launching family and friends into the air and into the water, you're lying.
