Overview

MaryJane Butters’ go-to guide for putting glamour into camping.

"Glamping, or glamour camping, one of the MaryJane's pet concepts, is about the juxtaposition of rugged and really pretty, grit and glam, diesel and absolutely darling." —The New York Times

Glamping—unleashing your inner wild while wearing a pair of fishing-lure earrings—is for every woman (or man!) who ever had a get-away-from-it-all fantasy (with a few frilly embellishments thrown in). Learn about the never-fail campfire, cooking with cast iron, how to change a flat, and much, much more. Follow the growing Glamping movement at maryjanesfarm.org and nationalglampingweekend.com.

About the Author

Like the infamous Calamity Jane, who said, “I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should go ahead and be one,” MaryJane Butters coined the term glamping years ago when she founded her unusual Idaho canvas wall-tent bed & breakfast, which was featured in The New York Times Magazine and Travel & Leisure as “the place to be.” Legend status achieved, MaryJane lives in Moscow, Idaho, where she runs her many businesses, which include a successful organic farm, product lines, a bed & breakfast, and MaryJanesFarm magazine. This is her fourth book.

Read an Excerpt

Few trailers, if any, are decked out with built-in bathrooms. After all, we’re not talking about tour buses or mobile mansions here. The compact cuties I love simply don’t have room for full-fledged facilities. Not to worry, though.

For the most part, the gypsy glamper will be within reach of a rest stop, gas station, or campground, should she hear the call. The proverbial “pit-stop” is generally a quick and painless affair. But, say you find yourself on a desolate stretch of road, or you land upon a loo that’s less than, shall we say, comfortable. Or maybe, you wake up in the middle of the night to a cold rain and you simply can’t muster the gumption to get out and trek to the nearest public restroom. In these instances, a wise wanderer will rest assured, knowing that she is prepared with her own private potty.
