A camping trip always seems like a great idea in theory—after all, who doesn’t love spending time in the great outdoors pitching a tent, gathering firewood and getting the sleeping bags out for a cozy night under the stars? But as romantic as that idea sounds, for some – bugs, hard ground, no bathroom, no A/C can all get in the way of a great time. That’s where glamping comes in: Enjoy a close connection with nature while still having the modern comforts of a hotel at your disposal. Win!

Whether you prefer an igloo, hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, or a stunning mountain view near your campsite, there is a glamping destination perfect for everyone. Some of these are bouuuu-gie! Here are our favorites!
