Best Glamping near El Dorado Lake
Bluestem Point and Shady Creek areas of El Dorado State Park house upscale glamping accommodations with modern amenities just steps from the water. These lakeside retreats feature climate-controlled canvas structures with real beds, electricity, and private decks overlooking the water. "The sites were level and spacious. We will definitely be back," noted one visitor about the Bluestem Point camping experience. Safari tents and yurts at the park combine outdoor immersion with indoor comfort, providing plush mattresses with linens, seating areas, and easy access to newly renovated shower houses. The glamping options maintain proximity to nature while elevating the experience beyond traditional camping with thoughtful touches like picnic tables, fire rings, and proximity to the park's general store for essentials.
El Dorado's glamping sites connect directly to miles of shoreline trails and beach areas perfect for swimming, fishing, and kayaking during warmer months. Beaumont Hotel & RV Park, another glamping destination in the region, offers a truly unique experience with its on-site airstrip, historic railroad connections, and access to scenic Flint Hills landscapes. A camper described it as having "fantastic stargazing" opportunities in the evenings. Visitors appreciate the peaceful setting and proximity to local attractions like the brewery in El Dorado city. Most glamping accommodations remain open year-round, though availability may be limited during peak summer weekends and holidays. Reservations are recommended, especially for waterfront luxury sites that provide the best sunset views over the lake.
