Renowned stand-up comedian and the former Daily Show host Trevor Noah once humorously said that camping is a ‘white people thing’ on vacation, and something coloured people are trying to escape. Trevor pointed out how the ‘no water, no electricity’ part of camping is something he has tried to escape in life and worked hard not to go through ever again. However, even those like Trevor might say yes to ‘glamping,’ a travel trend that combines glamour with camping. While it is no new trend, it still has many fans worldwide, and California is a spot with many ‘glamping’ options. From the extensive coastal lines to the iconic national parks and amazing outdoor experiences, California is a ‘glmaping’ enthusiast’s dream destination.
