I had been invited on a trip to Lake Bled for a spot of camping which I was extremely excited about. However after becoming accumstomed to Ryanair's unbeatable fares I'd gotten used to taking hand luggage everywhere I went. How on earth was I to fit everything I'd need for a camping trip in my tiny little bag?
After researching the website a number of us decided for the additional baggage fees and general hassle, it was worth treating ourselves to a spot of luxury and boy was it!
Unfortunately we booked a little too late notice to get a cabin with a hot tub but it didn't take away from the experience. The cabins were made for 2 people, with storage units down the sides of the beds and a massive window at the end for stargazing - magical! Our friends who took tents camped nearby and we were close to all the amenities of the campsite.
Lake Bled is a fantastically beautiful place. We went in September and the weather was glorious, nestled in the woods we were able to utilise the communal BBQ, set off candle lanterns and go for midnight dips in the lake. The lake itself had the clearest waters I had ever laid eyes on and the lush green, craggy mountains which enveloped it, topped off by the bewitching castle which lit up at night were breathtaking.
Around camp and beyond we relaxed, soaked up some rays and some culture and regenerated our lungs with lots and lots of fresh air. Glamping has got a lot of stick recently, and I'm more than happy to rough it when needs must, however the experience of being in a magical little hut in the woods under the stars was so worth it.
SURVIVAL TIP
Weigh up the costs. With an additional two suitcases at £20 each and the struggle added to travelling, the cost of living in luxury really wasn't that high. It also meant that the campers could use the electricity from our cabins and borrow our sun lounger mattresses to sleep on which made their experience a little easier too.
