There’s no better time to get outside and enjoy nature than during the spring and summer. As the snow melts and the days get longer, our desire to explore the great outdoors intensifies each day. For some, nothing can compare to being fully immersed in nature. Camping and backpacking are about as close to nature as you can get. Waking up surrounded by the wilderness, preparing your meals, and making and breaking camp are all exhilarating experiences, but they’re not for everyone. Some nature goers prefer to dip their toes in the elements rather than dive in headfirst. If you want to experience nature without roughing it in the woods, glamping may be for you. Glamping involves camping in a luxury tent, yurt, igloo, or treehouse. The inside of glamping tents are made up like a small, cozy bedroom, and there are likely clean and private facilities on site. If glamping sounds like it’s more your style, continue reading below for The Best Glamping Locations in the US.
