Glamping Bliss: Chasing Phish at Bethel Woods

Since my first glamping adventure at Floyd Fest in Floyd, Virginia, I've been absolutely hooked. It's changed the way I look at outdoor experiences forever. So, you can imagine my excitement as I gear up for a mini-vacation to catch my all-time favorite band, Phish, at Bethel Woods. As I'm nearing my 49th year, pitching a tent and "roughing it"  just doesn't hold the same appeal. But my love for the great outdoors? That's as fierce as ever.

Joining me on this journey are my closest friends, fellow music lovers who understand the magic Phish brings to our lives. Their songs have been the soundtrack to my existence, weaving a musical tapestry through the highs and lows, the joys and sorrows. To experience their music live, at Bethel Woods, for three nights... seems like a dream come true.

I Don't Have A Tent Anyway

And then there's the glamping itself – the epitome of outdoor indulgence. No more struggling with tent poles or sacrificing sleep in a lumpy sleeping bag. Instead, we'll be cocooned in luxury, sinking into plush beds after each wild night of dancing and celebration. And waking up? It's a leisurely affair, with no rush to get anywhere, just the freedom to soak in the beauty of the surroundings.

But it's not just about the music; it's about the connections we forge along the way. Sharing laughs, swapping stories, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Whether we're exploring the museum, reliving the iconic moments of the past, or simply lounging in nature's embrace, every moment is pure magic.

Bethel Woods isn't just a venue; it's a sanctuary where music, friendship, and nature converge. This isn't just a vacation; it's a pilgrimage, a celebration of life and the bonds that tie us together. And as we embark on this adventure, I know that the experiences we share will echo in our hearts long after the final chords fade away."
