We’ve all heard how important it is to eat a diet high in roughage. Likewise, “roughaging” (spending time outdoors) is essential to our mental health. Even if it’s a settee on the porch, we need it, gotta have it. I aim to be the reason you pulled your bedding out the back door last night.
Winnie Nielsen says: Automatic fall wardrobe with just a touch of red for accent!
Eileen says: Such beautiful fluffy bottoms! My daughter says its like they are wearing big feathery diapers.
Now that you’ve read my book, Glamping with MaryJane, you need to find a fabulous place to get your campin’ glam on.
We’re back for a 13th day of where to glamp in 2013, or well, 2014.
Enjoy the parts about camping you love—sitting under the stars, a campfire, hiking—but eliminate the hassle of hauling gear, tent poles, or even a trailer!
Now I know what you are thinking … why, those tents look like The Resort at Paws Up! Indeed they do, but you’ll stay for a fraction of the cost. Read on for s’more glamping fun in the heart of Jackson Hole.
Fireside Resort at Jackson Hole Campground
Wyoming
The Fireside Resort at Jackson Hole Campground has a wonderful look and feel and is located in Wilson, Wyoming.
Gorgeous, soft beds and a private setting await you or your family for a weekend of “back to nature” … with style.
Refresh yourself in the Glamping Bathhouse with private washrooms. Enjoy a luxurious rain shower and heated floors, and indulge in the organic spa products.
Need anything at camp? Out of marshmallows or chocolate? A Glamping Butler will attend to your every whim and whimsy.
Located only eight minutes from Grand Teton National Park, one hour and 10 minutes from Yellowstone, seven minutes from the town of Jackson, and five from Wilson, there is plenty to see and do around the area.
You’re also a cool five minutes from the ski slopes at Teton Village. Summer activities include riding the tram or chairlift, leisure biking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and paragliding. (There are also a variety of kids’ programs.) Here is a larger list of activities.
Winnie Nielsen says: Ohh, I wish I had know this when we were visiting the Grand Tetons!! We stayed at the Teton Village which was a fabulous ski resort but this glamping place would have been way more fun! The Tetons are just so majestic and beautiful. What a perfect setting for such a unique place to visit and stay.
MaryJane says: I spent a summer and fall building a buck & pole fence for the Forest Service in the shadow of the Tetons. Stunning beauty everywhere I looked. I’ll never forget the Teton’s rare beauty.
Winnie Nielsen says: Wow, what a place to spend time! The whole area is just breathtaking. We enjoyed a boat trip on the river and saw so many eagles. I am so happy that I was able to do the west trip this summer and see these majestic mountains and Yellowstone!
Nice post and a beautiful area! We’ve got some nice camps, too. Checkout http://www.wanderlustcamps.com for more information!
Now that you’ve read my book, Glamping with MaryJane, you need to find a fabulous place to get your campin’ glam on.
We’re back for a 12th day of where to glamp in 2013, or well, 2014.
New York, that fast-paced city, one of the four fashion capitols of the world, known for its hustlin’ and bustlin’, is a prime candidate for glamping! What other city would bring their A-game, this year’s Fashion Week favorites, for a tromp through the woods?
They recently gave glamping on city rooftops a try, but I think these fashion-forward city dwellers will really hitch up their knickers for a stay at Stony Creek Farm.
It’s just enough glam and farm to hook even the most pavement-addicted into a pair of Wellies for a look at the clear night sky.
Stony Creek Farm
New York
Located in Walton, New York, Stony Creek Farm has been owned and operated by the Marsiglio family since 1985. The farm, just off of the Northwest corner of the Catskill Mountains, started selling produce, meat, and eggs in 2005; has a cute-as-a-button Farm Store on-site; and that’s right—you guessed it—offers glamping!

Each tent, set up along the relaxing Stony Creek, for which the farm gets its name, features a double bed, a bunk bed, AND a canopy bed. You’ll also find a toilet, ice chest, cooking stove, and dining area.
Lots of fun things to do on the farm, including watching wildlife, fishing, and birdwatching. Or pet the cows, goats, and sheep, and marvel at the gardens. All produce grown and animals raised on the farm are sold at the Franklin Farmers’ Market in the state of New York in the summer.

And I hope you book for a Thursday or Saturday night, cause it’s Make Your Own Pizza Night! On those evenings, the hosts will give workshops at their outdoor wood-burning bread oven. There, you will learn how to make your own za. (Short for Pizza!)

Make sure you also stick around for Sunday Harvest Mornings, when guests can choose to participate in harvesting the organic garden for buyers at the farmers’ markets.
While harvesting, chat with the team and learn about growing techniques, seed saving, and more! You’ll find lots of fun activities in nearby Cooperstown (home to the Baseball Hall of Fame), including the Farmers Museum, antique shops, theaters, a large arts and crafts community, and of course, a plethora of exciting and jam-packed farmers’ markets.
Laurie Dimno says: You can bet I will be looking into this site in more detail since its located right herein New York! How exciting!
Those make your own pizza nights, and Sunday morning harvests sound like an added bonus to the glamping, and I love the fact that it sounds as if my family of 4 can all fit comfortably in one tent accommodation.
Thank you for the tip!
Terry Steinmetz says: What is the name of this sunflower? I love growing sunflowers and this one looks different from any that I’ve grown.
MaryJane says: Hi Terry,
It’s a volunteer from years past. Do you want me to save you some seed from it?
Terry Steinmetz says: That would be GREAT! Thank you so much.

Must be getting cooler at night out your way. Send a little coolness our way , PLEASE??!!
Growing up in Burns this brings back found memories. My Dad was the one that did the main cutting but as I grew older I also did cutting. This brings found memories of my Father and discussing all kinds of things. He was such a good man and Father then. You know once you got the rythem of cutting it was not as back breaking as it looks. At 70 I still have good strength.
Have you ever tried inoculating your freshly cut wooden limbs/stumps with mushroom spores?
Never heard of that idea. Tell me more!
Here is a link that explains each step & the items you may need to have on hand ———–
http://homeguides.sfgate.com/inoculate-log-mushroom-spores-78031.html
The article is called, ‘How to Inoculate a Log with Mushroom Spores’.
In addition to the listed items, sounds like plenty of rain & patience maybe essential too:-)
One of my gardening books states that freshly cut hardwoods produce the best results.
Mushrooms grew abundantly/freely on my neighbors old Oak stump when they first chopped it down many years ago.
Maybe an experiment your granddaughter’s would enjoy trying with you?
