Original “glamorous camping” has been around since the 1900s when wealthy Europeans and Americans wanted a taste of luxury on their camping adventures to Africa. They would stay in safari tents, often furnished with antique furniture, double beds, Persian rugs and luxury bedding.
Fast forward and today you’ll find that glamping has expanded to more permanent accommodations, comprising anything from premium tented camp “hotels” that include 15-75 stand-alone, semi-permanent structures, private luxury tents in isolated locations to temporary encampments set up based on seasonality.
Today, in the United States, the west has the highest saturation of glamping sites, followed by the northeast and great lakes region. Many existing vineyards, orchards, ranches and other landowners are now capitalizing on the glamping movement by starting up their own glampsites and offering unique experiences without having to leave their property.
The adventurer has a multitude of glamping options for all budgets – from remote to side of highway, outhouses to A/C and luxury baths, all-inclusive to varying types of structures – canvas tents, yurts, tipis, airstreams, wagons and more.
