From tartan-lined lodges to glamping tents with martini carts, these aren’t just places to crash, they’re places to convene. Heritage plaid, canvas, wood smoke and a little Champagne sparkle, because camp can be both rugged and refined. If Camp VR were a weekend escape, this would be the map. Picture bunk beds turned boutique, bonfires turned dinner parties, and cabins styled with the kind of quiet luxury that feels half Martha Stewart cottage, half Ralph Lauren catalog. The menu? Wood-fired paella, grown-up s’mores, and a bourbon cider punch bowl that deserves its own merit badge.  These venues aren’t just made for sleeping, they’re also made for gathering. Lakeside lodges that double as wedding backdrops, glamping estates with long tables set in the fields, and cozy cottages ready for birthday feasts or fall reunions. It’s fisherman-core meets fine china, enamel mugs clinking beside crystal stemware. Explore The Camp VR collection on Venue Report: search, save, and message real venues built for bunking up, feasting well, and gathering under the same roof (or sky). Because campfires fade, but the stories? Those last all season. Read the field guide below.

There’s something pretty wonderful about a wedding at a barn. You’re often away from the city, hidden from the world, and surrounded by nature. The sun stretches its beams in full during the ceremony and the moon watches over the festivities of the reception. It’s a really good deal. We love all kinds of barns, from peaceful forest scenes in the Pacific Northwest to sprawling lawn offerings in the South. There’s a storybook quality to them and it always seems like the most welcoming atmosphere and spirited celebration around. That’s why we put together the latest edition of this annual collection. Make sure to check out the previous editions of our favorite wedding barns in America as well, because it seems like that’s where the best times happen.  By: Jake Kilroy

Impulse travel is by far our favorite kind noted by our other spontanious travel lists. While we love to plan trips and typically spend hours hemming and hawing over the best venues or hotels in the best places, sometimes the spur-of-the-moment trek out to the desert ends up being the best experience of the whole year. In an effort to encourage more impromptu adventures, we’ve gathered up some of our favorite spots that are easily accessible by car or a quick flight to enjoy the end of winter and early spring, places where you can be sure to get out of the everyday norm and experience nature, culture, zen, snow, or sea. And guess what? You can book all these rad spots directly through us. We even have a white glove concierge service who will book your whole itinerary if you’re into it. Book it, book it real good.  Reporter: Alyssa Brown Traveling with a group? inquire about room blocks & group rates

Permanent or temporary, while being both traditional and modern, they’re cool in the summer and warm in the winter, adding that wondrous “wow” factor to give us all the warm and fuzzies. They’re a bohemian touch to your bridal bash, a dose of glam to your birthday gathering and more then a smidge of special to any family, or dare we say corporate, soiree. Read on for our Top 25 Tents & Tipis, then go forth, gather and glamp.

Weekends are for adventure. Where will your next one be? We have some thoughts. Let's face it lovelies, "roughing it" just isn't for everyone. But that doesn't mean we don't like the smell of fresh air, a crackling campfire or sleeping under a blanket of stars, we just hope it includes a real mattress, massages and/or gourmet meals, in no particular order. Is that too much to ask? With the amount of hours most of us put in during a regular work week, getting out and gathering with our fave guys and gals in the Great Outdoors, beckons to us beautifully. Check out 14 of our gorgeous & glamorous glamping go-to's with serious #campvibes.
