Best Glamping in Arizona
Arizona's premium glamping experiences can be found at several distinctive locations including Flagstaff KOA, which houses comfortable yurts alongside cabin options and traditional camping. Tucson-Lazydays KOA and Kartchner Caverns State Park feature glamping accommodations equipped with electricity, comfortable beds with linens, and climate control systems that maintain ideal temperatures regardless of season. These elevated camping experiences typically include private decks or patios, dedicated parking, and easy access to modern bathroom facilities. Many glamping units at these locations come with kitchenettes, refrigerators, and microwaves, eliminating the need for traditional camping cookware. "We stayed in spot 14, for 4 nights 5 days. It was wonderful. Amenities are great. The women who run the park are super helpful and friendly," shared one satisfied guest about their experience at Rancho Sedona RV Park.
Holbrook/Petrified Forest KOA offers glamping accommodations with convenient proximity to Petrified Forest National Park, making it an ideal base for exploration. The North Rim Campground near Grand Canyon National Park combines glamping comfort with spectacular canyon vistas, though visitors should note its seasonal operation from May through October. Activities available to glamping guests include swimming pools at several KOA locations, guided nature walks at state parks, and exceptional stargazing opportunities in Arizona's clear desert skies. According to a recent visitor, "The star gazing is incredible, an astrologist's dream truly heaven on earth." Many glamping sites provide fire pits or grills for outdoor cooking, while maintaining prohibition on open flames inside canvas structures. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for these popular accommodations, especially during peak spring and fall seasons when temperatures are most moderate.
