Glamour + camping = glamping. (Does it add up for you?)

ZILLAH, Yakima County — A slight breeze kept us from lighting a campfire, so as the temperatures dropped along with the setting sun it didn't take much encouragement to head for the tepee.

Yes ... tepee. One of those conical-shaped dwellings of canvas swirled around tall poles; the kind you see on the windblown plains of old television Westerns. Unlike those Westerns, our tepee — one of five at Cherry Wood Bed Breakfast and Barn — was a posh place nestled among cherry orchards and vineyards, within easy reach of some 20 wineries that make up the Rattlesnake Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area) in the heart of Yakima Valley wine country.

But then we weren't roughing it, we were high-end glamping, the latest soft-adventure craze. It's "glamorous camping," or "Extreme Makeover" meets campground.

The popularity of glamping — a concept that may have grown out of those upscale African safari camps — is taking root in Washington. Commercial "glampsites" can be found from the San Juan Islands to the Columbia River. Set in wooded areas, vineyards, orchards and ranches, they offer accommodations ranging from tepees to trailers, yurts to canvas cabins.

Our 22-foot-wide tepee, the Longhorn, with faux-skin rugs on a painted concrete floor, was furnished with a small refrigerator, rocking chair, electric lights, clothes rack, and a queen-sized bed with such a comfy mattress and flannel sheets so cozy that we didn't need the electric blanket.

Pampering products included towels, a makeup mirror and flip-flops to wear when visiting our private portable toilet, just outside the entry. A shared hot-water shower a few steps farther came with soaps and shampoo.

A hearty farm breakfast was included in the $185 nightly rate. We ate dinner at a restaurant down the road but could have used the briquette barbecue — or had Pizza Hut deliver, as guests the previous week had done.

Terry and Pepper Fewel put the "glam" in camping at Cherry Wood, their working orchard and horse ranch, blending the Old West with today's wineries. Many guests are drawn here — some from as far away as Australia and France — to saddle up for the $160 daylong trail rides that include winery tours and tasting.
