What is Snow Peak?

Snow Peak is a Japanese outdoor brand - founded by a Japanese mountaineer, over 60 years ago. Looking through its website, we found great-looking camping and outdoor apparel. Snow Peak chose Long Beach, for its access to hiking, whale-watching, and kayaking. After a day in the elements, you return to the luxury campsite with your choice of staying in a “Jyubako micro-cabin” (for $140 per night.)

You also have the option of reserving a “Field Suite” for a price of only $40 per night. There’s an in-between level you could opt for: The “Tent Suite” - where you bring your sleeping bag, and they provide the luxury tent - for $120 per night.
