Where to go glamping this summer

Located along the Kissimmee River in Central Florida, is Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo. The 1,700-acre ranch offers 15 different types of rooms, including Luxe Conestoga Wagons, Luxe Teepees and Glamping Tents, as well as an array of activities like horseback riding, fishing, airboat rides and much more! Plus, there is no need to worry about cooking your own food since Westgate River Ranch has dining options on site.

Glamping at the Alila Resort in California is described as a “luxury camping experience, a more refined way to connect with the outdoors and experience the full splendor of Big Sur.” Instant hot and cold potable water with a sink, in addition to electric lamps and power outlets with USB ports for charging devices are among the amenities Ventana glamping guests will find during their stay. They can also purchase firewood, s’mores and beverages!

The destination in New York’s Adirondacks opened its doors in 2022. At Eastwind Lake Placid, guests can enjoy a bar & lounge, vintage library, complimentary bikes, private dining room and fire pits. While there are a variety of rooms from studios to suites, the Lushna Petite is said to be Eastwind’s “Scandinavian notion of camping without sacrificing the comforts.”

Under Canvas has over 10 safari-inspired locations around the country, including near Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. Visitors will be happy glampers having an ensuite bathroom, as well as on-site dining, bedside battery packs, West Elm furnishings and complimentary activities.

Manhattanites don’t have to travel far to go glamping. A ferry ride away on Governors Island is Collective Retreats, where guests can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, while glamping with a view of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline. With an à la carte menu available at Three Peaks Lodge, an artisanal s’mores cart and happy hour on the sunset terrace, you’re sure to enjoy every (New York) minute of your stay.
