Convenient Power on the Go
Although quite a few glamping spots provide electricity and/or the comforts of home, others do not. In some of the cases where there is no electricity, you have the option of bringing a portable generator with you to give you electric power. Remember to ask the staff at the property you plan to visit if such generators are allowed. If they’re not, then it could be because of the policy of the establishment. In either case, it’s important to check that out before arrival.
Reasons to Bring a Portable Generator
Some areas prohibit fires of any kind, and this even includes gas-powered stoves. With a generator, you can power a small electric camp grill for cooking at your glamping site. Remember to observe quiet hours and any other regulations at the glampsite, though.
Perhaps, you want to share your experiences in real time with the folks back home? In this case, you’ll need your devices to have a full battery charge. And, if your glampsite doesn’t have Wi-Fi, then you’ll want power for a satellite internet connection so that you can share those photos and videos.
While glamping, you may want to watch a movie. Maybe you’ve rented an RV and parked it at a glampsite without hookups. A portable generator will give you all the power you need for your TV and portable DVD player.
If you plan to cook in your RV, or even just at a regular glampsite, then you’re going to need something to keep the food fresh. Portable freezers and/or refrigerators are good options. For this reason, having a generator along just makes sense. Again, it’s crucial that you follow the rules and regulations of the property where you’re glamping.
When planning fun activities for you, your family, and any glamping neighbors, a generator will give you quite a few choices, such as karaoke parties, dances, and communal outdoor movies.
Perhaps most important, you might want or need to have a climate-controlled atmosphere inside your vehicle, tent, or provided shelter. A generator can power a portable air-conditioning unit so that you can remain ultra-comfortable. Plus, should you need such climate control for a medical condition of some kind, the generator will be important for your peace of mind.
What If Fuel-Powered Generators Are Disallowed?
Solar-powered generators are an option. They soak up the sun and provide power without either exhaust fumes or loud noise. At worst, they’ll hum slightly. The downside to solar-powered generators is that they’re not nearly as powerful as their fuel-powered cousins. So, plan accordingly. In fact, it’s a good idea for you to have a solar-powered generator along as a backup, even if you plan to use a fuel-powered generator.
