(File/FOX Carolina) ASHEVILLE, NC (FOX Carolina) -  When many
think of camping, they don't usually think of coffee pots or air
conditioning, but as it turns to fall, many campers are looking
to camp luxuriously.  "Glamping" is becoming a very popular way
to travel, and get into the outdoors without losing the comforts
of home or a hotel.  Some find camping in a basic, two-person
tent with rainguard ideal while others find the whole process
frustrating, so they are turning to a new, more comfortable
outdoor shelter - a yurt.  "You're surrounded in the woods in
our cabins, but you're one step away from a hotel room, in my
opinion, and the yurts really give you the outdoor experience,"
said Ande Rappaport, who manages Campfire Lodgings Campground in
Asheville.
