"Glamping" comes to northern Michigan with an eco-resort set to open next spring

A new way to enjoy the great outdoors is coming soon to northern Michigan. 

It's called Bella Solviva. And it’s opening next spring near Torch Lake, northeast of Traverse City.

Bella Solviva is the campground for those who want that outdoor experience without, say, the communal showers or having to plop your sleeping bag on a blow-up air mattress. 

Brad Carlson and his wife are getting this all ready. 

Today, we discuss how Bella Solviva is planning to put glamour into camping. Can a night of comfy glamping change the way some think about the outdoors?
