These days, travelers still crave post-pandemic wanderlust; however, their focus has shifted toward a more tranquil approach to travel \u2014 opting for what is coined a calmcation \u2014 where simplicity and a profound connection with nature take precedence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A survey conducted by Campspot sheds light on this trend, revealing that almost one in three travelers is actively pursuing a sense of calm and relaxation when they vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally noteworthy is the fact that an astounding 93% of those surveyed express feeling increased relaxation and mental rejuvenation after time spent camping versus other types of trips. This obviously underscores the growing preference for calmcation getaways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>A calmcation offers the perfect chance to slow down, decompress and fully immerse oneself in the beauty of nature.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, a calmcation is a vacation designed to promote relaxation, mindfulness and a retreat from the frenetic pace of daily life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These getaways often involve staying in peaceful locations and engaging in activities including yoga, meditation, forest bathing or simply spending time outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emphasis here is on mental and physical rest, rejuvenation and forging a connection with oneself and the surrounding nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-a-calmcation\">Benefits of a Calmcation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"30504\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1757851665\/magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Woman hiding behind big leaf in forest\" class=\"wp-post-23274 wp-image-30504\" data-format=\"webp\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1757851665\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1757851665\/magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1757851665\/magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1757851665\/magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_800,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1757851665\/magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1757851665\/magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1757851665\/magazine\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3\/Woman-hiding-being-big-leaf-in-forest-simonapilolla-iStockjpg_3050494ae3.jpg?_i=AA 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What is it about a calmcation that is ushering in this new era of travel? Below are some of the key benefits that a calmcation can provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mental Health Boost.<\/strong> Calmcations in the form of camping provide an ideal setting to unwind and de-stress. The natural surroundings and the simplicity of camping life contribute to reducing stress levels, which can significantly improve mental health.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digital Detox.<\/strong> In an era where digital connectivity is ever-present, calmcations offer a rare opportunity to disconnect from technology. This digital detox can lead to better sleep patterns and more meaningful in-person interactions. The lack of constant digital interruptions allows individuals to fully engage with their surroundings and companions, leading to a more fulfilling and rejuvenating experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased Mindfulness.<\/strong> Calmcations encourage activities that promote mindfulness and self-reflection. Whether it\u2019s through quiet walks in the woods, yoga by the lake or simply sitting and observing nature, these activities enhance awareness of the present moment.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physical Health Benefits. <\/strong>The combination of relaxation, healthy eating and gentle movement commonly found in camping settings contributes to improved physical health. Activities like hiking, swimming or canoeing provide light exercise that can improve cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure and boost the immune system. Additionally, the fresh air and natural setting can have rejuvenating effects on the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit? Camping as a form of calmcation is not only mentally refreshing but also cost-effective. Campspot&#8217;s data suggests that camping can be significantly more affordable than traditional vacations, making it an attractive option for those seeking value without compromising on experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-four-resorts-for-a-calmcation\">Four Resorts for a Calmcation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> No longer content with the conventional \u201croughing it\u201d route of going camping, travelers are upleveling their camping adventures \u2014 favoring luxurious services and amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are four of our favorite resorts where city slickers can have a go at a mental refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/destinations\/property\/alila-ventana-big-sur\">Alila Ventana Big Sur<\/a> \u2014 California<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"23284\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_576,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1712049177\/magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Glamping tent at Ventana Big Sure for a calm-cation\" class=\"wp-post-23274 wp-image-23284\" data-format=\"webp\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1712049177\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_576,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1712049177\/magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_169,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1712049177\/magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_432,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1712049177\/magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_675,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1712049177\/magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_338,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1712049177\/magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1712049177\/magazine\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent\/Ventana-Big-Sur-an-Alila-Resort-Glamping-Tent.jpg?_i=AA 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Alila Ventana Big Sur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This luxury resort in Big Sur offers safari-style tents in a redwood canyon, featuring plush beds, electric lamps and potable water.
