If you're a fan of camping but not looking to sacrifice anything on the comfort front, glamping — or glamorous camping — might be the travel experience you should book this summer. Glamping allows you to enjoy outdoor activities (think swimming, biking and boating) and sleep comfortably in the great outdoors.
Most resorts consist of spread-out accommodations, typically tents, although some are stand-alone cabins or RVs. The best glamping resorts in the U.S. typically offer gorgeous views of the property's natural surroundings, along with outdoor-focused activities like fishing, hiking, stargazing or biking. Remember that you can expect different levels of service while staying at a glamping resort: Some offer a dedicated camping butler, whereas others have shared campgrounds and a less private setting.
Since 2020, glamping resorts have gained and retained their popularity around the U.S., and now you can even book some with hotel loyalty program points, like Under Canvas properties via World of Hyatt. Hilton's partnership with Autocamp also comes in handy if you're looking for an outdoorsy getaway, as does Marriott's Outdoor Collection.
