There are a lot of ways to get to know the world. You get to decide how you travel, who you travel with, and where you go. It’s all up to you, and each decision has an impact on your experience. One of the biggest decisions you'll make is where you stay. The place, the location, the view—it’s all so important. That’s where luxury camping comes in.
Glamping, also known as luxury or boutique camping, is nothing like staying in the artificial environment of a hotel. It’s the chance to truly reconnect with nature and enjoy your surroundings. It allows you to detach from city life and experience something completely new.
While many prefer to go glamping in the summer, the autumn can be a particularly lovely time to do this–it’s not as hot, there are fewer bugs, and in some cases, you can be surrounded by explosions of colour as the leaves in surrounding forests turn rich hues of yellow, orange and red.
Here are five luxury glamping sites in some of the most naturally beautiful parts of the United States that are truly unique and that will add that little something special to your next getaway.
