Best Glamping near Globe, AZ
The Pinal Mountains house a handful of glamping options within a stunning forest setting, including Upper Pinal Campground where glamping accommodations blend with the natural surroundings at nearly 6,000 feet elevation. Located approximately seven miles from Globe via switchback mountain roads, these secluded glamping sites offer a true escape from urban environments. The glamping tents and rustic accommodations feature picnic tables and fire rings while being nestled among tall ponderosa pines that provide natural shade and privacy. Timber Camp Recreation Area also provides glamping options with more accessible amenities including covered ramadas and larger communal spaces ideal for group glamping experiences. One guest shared, "This campground is nestled in a secluded canyon amongst the Ponderosa Pines and next to an intermittent mountain stream. The views on the drive up from Globe to the campground at 5,900 feet are gorgeous."
Seasonal considerations impact the glamping experience in this mountain region, with most accommodations available from May through November due to potential winter weather conditions. The forest setting provides opportunities for wildlife viewing, with bears and other animals frequently spotted near the glamping sites. Hiking trails surround the area, though visitors should note fire restrictions may apply during dry seasons. The dramatic elevation change from Globe creates a notably cooler climate at these glamping resorts, making them popular summer retreats when temperatures in lower elevations soar. Cell service varies between locations, with Timber Camp offering reliable connectivity while more remote glamping sites have limited reception. A visitor noted, "We stayed in site 22 which could be driven in to with a small trailer and while looking for firewood realized that site 23 was actually 50 feet uphill directly behind us with no access other than walking directly through our site."
