Many resorts have turned camping into "glamping," or glamorous camping. Glamping can offer you the chance to connect with nature while relaxing on king beds, cooling off in the AC, and enjoying the privacy of your own en-suite bath. It can be the perfect vacation for older travelers who used to enjoy camping but need a bit more comfort. (Your back will thank you.) Glamping can also turn a camping hater — for whom camping evokes sleeping on the hard ground in leaky tents — into a glamping lover.
We've rounded up five glamping locations around the country that range from luxurious and as expensive as a hotel room, down to as little as $100 per night. Glamping encompasses a variety of sleeping structures, from basic tents to luxurious, lofty tents and small cabins. We've also noted nearby attractions, including national parks, hot springs, beaches, wineries and museums. Many locations offer activities such as boating, fishing or yoga. Finally, we've included information for readers with mobility issues.
