5 Best Campgrounds for Glamping

The rugged camping lifestyle isn’t for everyone. Sleeping in sleeping bags and setting up tents? No, thank you. Some prefer a more glamorous style of camping, glamping if you will, and I don’t blame ’em. Glamping is for those who wish to experience the beauty of the outdoors without its discomforts, and there isn’t a shortage of campgrounds that cater to these crowds. 

Here’s a collection of some of the best campgrounds for our fellow glampers. If you’re looking for a great place to take your RV on a summer road trip, take notes. 

Outdoorsy Stays

Stays is our brand new platform that’s a glamper’s dream — enjoying the outdoors without sacrificing the comforts of the indoors. We have spots ranging from luxury cabins to yurts to vintage Airstream glamping to seaside treehouses, and so much more.

Our Stays are as unique as each owner and all of them help you connect with the outdoors in style.

On top of that, Outdoorsy even now has its own campgrounds that offer glamping. From Yosemite in California to Southwestern Colorado, you can get the outdoor hotel resort experience wherever you go. Talk about luxury AND convenience.

With almost 200 campgrounds and resorts in 25 different states, Thousand Trails has something for campers and glampers alike. Whether you want to head to the beach or run for the mountains, there is a site for you. Hike the Grand Canyon or snorkel in the Florida Keys all while knowing you have the luxury of your cabin, cottage, tiny home, or yurt waiting for you when you get back. 

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, try a more unique rental for size. A covered wagon, perhaps?

Got Your Glamping Gear? 

If you’re off to go glamping, there’s not much you’ll need. The beauty of glamping is that the campgrounds and resorts will do much of the work for you. All you have to do is prepare to take in all the beauty and luxury the glamping lifestyle has to offer. Come on, Barbie. Let’s go glamping.
