Best Glamping near Denver, CO

The Denver area has several glamping sites that combine camping with more comfort than traditional tent setups. Denver City Park Campground has yurts and safari tents with real beds and quality linens instead of sleeping bags on the ground. About 30 minutes from the city, Denver Area State Park maintains heated glamping units with electrical outlets for charging devices and running small appliances. Many sites in the area include meal services where you can skip the camp cooking and eat well without leaving the grounds. If you head into the Colorado National Forest, you'll find glamping spots with actual furniture and great views of the Rockies. These places feel more like staying in a cabin than roughing it in a tent. At Denver Recreation Area, the staff can help arrange activities and services during your stay, and many units look out over the Colorado River. Denver County Park Campground built their glamping structures to match the natural surroundings. Most glamping sites in the region fill up quickly, so book well ahead of your trip. Pay attention to any current fire rules and how long you can stay at each place. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable temperatures, while winter glamping means snowy views from your warm accommodation. Summer can get hot, but air conditioning in many units helps. The Denver glamping scene works well for both people who want to relax and those looking for outdoor activities.
