Glamping Nationwide: Destinations for Every State – Hospitality Management Degrees

Relaxing under the trees, warming up by a campfire, falling asleep to the sound of crickets and waking up to the sound of birdsong… everyone loves camping out. If only there were a way to experience the magic of camping without all the discomfort and hassle- pitching unwieldy tents, hauling coolers, and sleeping on the cold, uneven ground. At last you can- all hail the “glamping” phenomenon!

For those of us with outdoorsy souls but indoor sensibilities, glamping combines “camping” and “glamor” into one cushy wilderness experience. The classic glamping setup entails a roomy, fully-furnished canvas tent with a traditional bed, lighting, and (best of all) a clean bathroom with a flushing toilet. Some glamping companies take the “glamor” idea one step further, with designer furniture, luxury bedding, and even spa services. Some provide lodgings in tipis, yurts or cabins. Some offer on-site outdoor adventures, like whitewater rafting or horseback riding. Other companies have introduced novel twists on traditional glamping, catering to every type of nature lover. Want to be a kid again? There’s a
summer camp for adults, complete with canoeing, craft cocktails, and, yes, friendship bracelets. Want to be a cowboy? There’s a glamping destination on a working dude ranch. Want to be a farmer? There’s farm glamping, complete with chickens and ducks, waiting for you. Check out our guide to Glamping Destinations in Every State in the Nation and learn how you can sleep under the stars- in five-star accommodations- in your state.
