Glamping: 3 Destinations to Experience the Luxury Trend

Going on a camping adventure doesn’t have to mean roughing it in the wild, or even buying or renting gear for that matter. If you love the idea of camping out under the stars and getting back to nature, but just aren’t sure about the whole “roughing it” concept, you may want to try glamping. Glamping is camping with a hint of luxury. However, instead of pitching tents and sleeping on the floor, glampers stay in vacation cabins, treehouses, and luxury teepees.

Alamo Rent A Car challenges you to take on this different type of vacation with the following glamping trip ideas that allow you to connect with nature without sacrificing comfort.

Rent a Tepee at Capitol Reef Resort

When booking through a glamping resort, travelers often get a more communal camp-like feel. For example, at Capitol Reef Resort in Utah, just a mile from Capitol Reef National Park, visitors can glamp inside a Conestoga wagon, luxury cabin or tepee equipped with fresh bed linens, towels and even flat-screen televisions. Not only will you be on the edge of the park’s wondrous canyons, domes and natural bridges, but you can also plan a day trip to Bryce Canyon National Park, the Grand Staircase, Canyonlands National Park or Zion National Park from Capitol Reef’s convenient location off Highway 12.

Reserve a Treehouse at Moose Meadow Lodge & Treehouse

Located in Waterbury, Vermont, the treehouse at Moose Meadow Lodge is both rustic and luxurious. This two-story treehouse includes a private bathroom and features 29 windows plus a wrap-around deck to maximize your outdoor glamping experience. The lodge is situated on 86 acres of land, which means you’ll find lots to do like fishing and hiking.

Enjoy a Private Tent at The Resort at Paws Up

Located on Montana’s Blackfoot River, the resort at Paws Up features private tents with heated floors, luxurious bathrooms, butler and laundry service. This resort offers an extensive list of activities for families, such as hiking, horseback riding and scavenger hunts.
