Luxury tents have ensuite bathrooms, showers, and towels. A cozy tent offers communal facilities and hot showers outside. You must bring your own towel and shower supplies.

Each luxury tent comes with its own private bathroom, complete with a shower, soap, shampoo, and towels. You are required to bring your own towel and shower accessories due to the communal hot showers outside the tent at Comfortable Tent.
