A few select firms offer VIP services that include grocery shopping, golf tee times, dining reservations (if you decide to go into town), gourmet prepared dinners delivered, guided fishing trips, horseback riding, and more.

These companies can also recommend (and make reservations for) the best excursions, tours and other activities in the region, making it easy to absolutely love your vacation.

If You Want to Cover a Lot of Ground

Several concierge camping companies offer coordinated advance deployment services. In other words, they'll get to your first campground before you and set up things. You fly in, pick up a rental car, arrive at the campsite, have fun, sleep, gather your personal stuff and head to your next campground where they'll have another site ready and waiting.

This leapfrogging enables you to go farther and see more sights than if you had to lug everything with you and set up.

Concierge camping makes sense for those who would rather not deal with the work that goes into a great camping trip, or who want to see more of our great outdoors but simply don't have the time to get there.
