Glamping at North Idaho’s Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast?

When Tim and I started our old-fashioned Tent and Breakfast, we didn’t realize we would be on the fringes of a new phenomenon–glamorous camping.  “Glamping” as it is called, is pampered camping. It often includes butlers lighting your fire, maids starting your electric blanket and your tent wired with electricity and all the other modern conveniences.

Well, Tim will start your campfire if you’re running late (nice guy that he is).  However, our vision was to have our guest experience the wilderness.  Part of experiencing something is doing and learning.  We love watching our guest try pioneer living–use a kerosene lamp, light a fire, hand pump water and use the outdoor shower. We give pointers but the only way to truly learn is to do it yourself.

In regards to camping, we wanted to keep the best–roasting marshmallows over the fire, star gazing, nature hikes, watching the morning begin with the sun filtering through the canvas tent roof–and minimize the discomfort.  Anyone remember the leaky air mattresses that didn’t even last one night.  

At Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast we strive to keep the right balance between comfort and real old-fashioned camping.   You won’t find our tents wired for electricity, video games, high-speed internet or tv.  However, you will have a private, wilderness camping experience in beautiful North Idaho.
