16 of the Coolest Places To Glamp This Summer

With summer officially here, outdoor enthusiasts are turning to the one thing they've been looking forward to all year: camping. But if setting up your own tent, snoozing in a sleeping bag, and not having access to hot water doesn't quite sound like your thing, there is another option: glamping.

A spin on the traditional camping experience, glamping offers more luxurious lodgings and amenities, allowing you to experience nature but with a few more of the comforts of home. For example, some glamping sites offer electricity, running water, scrumptious meals and, of course, outstanding views of the great outdoors. Others offer experiences such as live music and morning yoga that you might expect from a hotel. With that said, additional amenities can come with a higher price tag than traditional camping; but if you're budgeting to stay at hotels, glamping can be a great option.

Whatever your vibe, there's a plethora of glamping options around the country that'll meet every budget and need. Check out our curated list of the best glamping spots in the U.S. below to inspire your next adventure.
