When planning a camping trip with your Ford Focus, this summer, why not try more and turn a regular trip into a Glamping experience. Glamping is a combination of glamour camping turned up a notch with extra attention to the smallest of details.

Before packing tent poles and coolers get your Ford Focus organized to accommodate necessary gear. Whatever your glamping needs, both Ford Focus SE Hatch or Titanium hatchback offer ample trunk space. Extra storage space is always recommended. Whether you customize the trunk with your own sliding container unit, or opt for the Ford Focus Cargo Organizer, the key to glamping is to try more to really enjoy your experience.

Using a physical map can a driving distraction. Instead, use available SYNC ® with MyFord Touch® with optional voice-activated navigation to route the quickest way. This way you can get there fast, and enjoy the scenery.

Glamp it up with a yurt. Instead of the usual vinyl tent, which may or may not have a leaky patch you always mean to fix, but never get around to. Why not find a campground with a yurt option. A yurt is a portable circular tented dome with a lattice framework traditionally used by nomadic Mongolians. Able to accommodate six people, modern yurt camps exist in B.C., Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. Reserve a yurt for a single or multi-person use across various Canadian campgrounds. Instead of portaging, renting a yurt allows for easy close proximity access to your Ford Focus. Never worry about forgetting an item in the car, when it’s right there next to your beautiful yurt. Another bonus to yurt glamping means saying goodbye to raccoons or wildlife surprises.

Most campgrounds offer electricity. In the event of a power outage, which let’s face it, might happen in the great outdoors, having a 12V power outlet in your Ford Focus is a welcomed feature. Don’t go glamping without: a coffee maker, portable oven/stove, lantern, and if you’re feeling extra fancy a Shiatsu Lumbar Massager.  While utilizing the 12V power, do make sure the motor is turned on or risk draining the battery.

Keep your social stream alive by using the Smart Charge USB Hub and charge all of your devices. Never worry about a dead battery again. Why not share your trip, as it happens, with a live stream of an adventurous hike, or a fun campfire sing-along?

A glamping trip isn’t complete without the luxuries of home. Why not bring them with you? Since the Ford Focus can tow a lightweight trailer is completely possible. Do refer to the Safety Compliance Certification Label to figure out your towing capacity. The label is affixed to the door hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the door-latch post, next to the driver’s seating position. The Gross Vehicle Weight must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Page 174 of your manual has further towing details. If you need to get your Ford Focus towing ready, speak to your local Ford dealership about towing accessories and what’s best for your vehicle.

So, what’s in the trailer? Anything you like, from modern appliances, paper lanterns, bonfire folding chairs, hammock, extra toiletries, blankets, a full sized bed, water rafts, bicycles and most importantly a first aid kit.

If a yurt is not available, why not go caravan style with a canvas style tent. The decorative and theme options are endless not to mention comfortable. Imagine entering a fully decked out glamped tent with a raised platform floor, side tables with candles, decorative scarves from the ceiling, carpets, throws, plush pillows, it would pretty much be a circus of delights. Glamping is also a gentle introduction to the outdoors to those of all ages before heading into an off the grid style camping.

No matter how you style your campgrounds, going the extra distance to try more adds to the experience and excitement. Between hiking, canoeing, swimming, and telling ghost stories glamping is what you make it. If you try more, you might just find you like it.
