Top 10 Treehouse Experiences by Glamping Hub
For those of you who have been following Footsteps on the Globe for a while now you’ll know that I am a new recruit in the glamping game. Over the summer I spent a wonderful weekend getting as close to nature as I could (without the discomfort) in a treehouse in Wales and loved it! Since then, I have been introduced to an awesome website called Glamping Hub which specialises in camping with a touch of glamour. There are several different types of accommodation ranging from tipis and tents to camper vans and yurts, but it is their selection of treehouse accommodation around the world that is getting this non-camper excited! To check out the full range of Treehouse Getaways click here.
Proving that treehouses aren’t just for kids but putting the adventure back into accommodation and the comfort back into camping, here are top 10 treehouse experiences by Glamping Hub as voted and recommended by me.
