Firelight Camps
Glamping is a way to experience what living in a tiny house might be like. Living in a tent may be pushing it for most people but it might be an affordable way to get started in tiny house living while you construct your dream tiny house. Here is one option called Firelight Camps, located in New York.
The wind rustling through the trees. Brisk morning air. All from the comfort of your bed … No setup required. Made up with high thread count linens, your tent is off-the-grid and warmly lit with battery-powered lanterns (that can also charge your phone). Mesh screening helps keep the critters out, and comfortable furniture – such as the writing desk – gives you a place to muse on your ideas or simply relax. Find a hammock a few feet away to escape with the birdsong.
