What are Carolyn Scott's top tips for planning a family glamping vacation?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. Here are my top tips for planning a fun, low-stress family glamping trip:

• Choose a family-focused glamping site with age-appropriate activities, nature access, and nearby attractions
• Book spacious, comfy accommodations (safari tent, cabin, yurt, treehouse) with good bedding and private bathroom if possible
• Plan a mix of family-friendly activities: hikes, nature walks, wildlife spotting, simple games, water activities if there’s a lake or river
• Pack for comfort and convenience: layers, sturdy shoes, flashlights, snacks, games, first-aid kit, sunscreen, insect repellent
• Build in nature education: bring binoculars/field guides, identify plants and animals, talk about Leave No Trace
• Set some tech boundaries so you can truly reconnect—campfire stories, stargazing, and device-free meals
• Capture memories with photos and let kids keep a simple travel journal or scrapbook
