Paperbark CampYou might think the term "luxury camping" is an oxymoron, but after one night in the <a href="http://www.paperbarkcamp.com.au/">Paperbark Camp</a>'s heavenly tent hideaways, we think you'll have a change of heart. Located on the unspoilt coast of New South Wales in Australia, the camp's twelve safari style tents sit nestled in a grove of eucalyptus and paperbark trees. Each canvas-covered tent is elevated above the ground to protect the land underneath and features a large wraparound verandah, solar powered lighting and all of the posh hotel amenities you could ask for.1

Paperbark CampAfter a day of exploring the gum and mangrove forests (which are apparently a great place to spot kangaroos!), you can head to the Gunyah, a tree top dining room, you can retreat to your cozy canvas suite and take a long, hot bath or hit the downy cotton sheets and be lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of the bush.6
