Glamping Turns Into Small Business For Couple In DC Region

HYBLA VALLEY, VA — In between work, school and other activities in the DC region, taking time to get away and enjoy the outdoors is understandable. That's the concept of Evolution Glamping, a Hybla Valley business providing luxury tent rentals with or without the furnishings.

Owner Tameika Roames started the business with her husband after they were both burned out from corporate jobs. The couple wanted to find time to enjoy life and do the same for others through their business.

Evolution Glamping is geared toward families who'd like to enjoy nature with more than the basic tent. The bell tents can come with furnishings or just tent setup, depending on the package. There's also an option to rent a tent for the kids to have a sleepover in the backyard.

When and how did the business get started?

Our business began after we both husband and I decided we were burnt out in our corporate jobs and needed to get back to enjoying life. We started realizing other people were the same way, burned out, exhausted, missing out on life. So we decided that we needed to provide something to those busy families that want to appreciate nature but don’t have all the time in the world. So we created Evolution Glamping. Our goal is to get people back into nature through ease and comfort. We provide a bell tent and furnishings, set up and break down everything while the individual or family enjoys their time.
