Glamping in Southern Washington State

Booked a unit with electricity and running water. Cooked outside, s'more on a peanut butter cookie was fire, wild roses along the Lewis River perfumed the area, hiked through a lava cave, 10/10

I've been solo camping for 12 years - mostly at developed campgrounds, e.g. state / county / national forest / DNR campgrounds. National parks are full of generators and screaming children IMO so I usually find a nearby campground managed by a different agency.

I'd like to expand into dispersed camping but like to go for day hikes and am worried about coming back to all my stuff being stolen - and being totally alone without nearby campers or a camp host in case someone comes along with nefarious intentions.

I'd also like to do solo backpacking but have a like/hate relationship with backpacking. I don't mind getting filthy and uncomfortable but I REALLY like to be clean and comfortable at the end of the day. Also uncomfortable with being TOTALLY alone out there, even though I love the idea of it.

  • Exped is lighter and has side handles, making it easier to move around.
  • BA is heavier but has 1" more thickness, 6" more length, and 10" more width. The increased weight, bulk, and lack of handles makes it more difficult to move around.
