Best Glamping near Vancouver, WA

625 Reviews

Paradise Point State Park Campground houses upscale glamping accommodations within easy reach of Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington attractions. The park offers year-round glamping experiences with several accommodation types including yurts and canvas glamping structures with proper beds, electricity, and climate control systems. Government Island State Recreation Area also provides glamping options accessible only by boat, creating a unique private retreat experience for travelers seeking both luxury and adventure. Amenities vary between locations but typically include picnic tables, fire rings, access to restrooms with showers, and drinking water. One guest shared, "The campsites were all beautiful and hard to choose which one I wanted to camp in. I chose to select from the walk-in sites and the one I chose was not too far away from my car or the showers."

The Lewis River flows near Paradise Point's eco-friendly glamping tents, offering water recreation opportunities despite proximity to Interstate 5. Guests at Mt Hood Village Resort's glamping accommodations enjoy access to resort-style amenities while positioned perfectly for day trips to the Columbia River Gorge. On-site disc golf, hiking trails, and river access provide entertainment without leaving the glamping properties. Most locations permit pets in designated glamping structures, though policies vary. According to a camper, "This is a great spot for a quick close to town getaway. Unfortunately you can hear I-5 traffic, but the access to the Lewis river is great." Reservations are recommended for all glamping accommodations, especially during summer months when Paradise Point and other locations fill quickly. Winter glamping options remain available at several year-round facilities with proper heating systems.

    Oxbow Regional Park

    Close to the city with awesome playgrounds

    The park just added two nature playgrounds that are pretty fantastic. One of the new playgrounds, right before the boat launch, features a trail with a mud kitchen, two a-frame tents and a big area where you can use fallen logs and branches to build shelters.

    The other nature playground is right across from the old playground (still in use) and has a wooden water course with a hand pump and an elevated wooden plank course.

    Camping can be a little loud since it's a popular spot and there are no pets allowed, but it's barely 30 minutes away from Portland and right on the Sandy River.

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Gorgeous!! Bring hiking shoes & a headlamp.

    The only thing missing from this amazing camping spot is electricity and running water. Otherwise, it’s perfect! Absolutely gorgeous view of Mt. Hood, tons of hiking, a beautiful lake and camping spots for everyone. They have walk-in spots, yurts, a-frames, RV spots, a horse camp and even a few rooms at the lodge. Make sure to spend at least 3-4 days!

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Beautiful, well maintained, generous sized campsites

    Tent sites are large and spaced out so your not right next to your neighbors. It’s a little bit of a walk to the lake but enjoyable. We stayed in the A-frame cabin which is right off the parking lot so can be busy but is a generous size lot and has some shrubbery and trees for privacy. there’s a trail out right out the back of the lot. The cabin is small and rustic. Non motorized lake. Canoe, paddle board and boat rentals available and I highly recommend.

    Merrill Lake Campground

    Great little campsite for last minute adventures

    There are 8 walk in sites and one drive up site, all first come first serve discovery pass required. Some sites are larger than others, but in ours we were able to fit two 6ptents and one 2p tent. All campsites have a fire ring and picnic table. You’ll still see and hear your fellow campers, but it does seem semi private. Make sure to bring toilet paper, the bathroom seems to never be stocked. Make sure to haul out all trash.

    You can’t use motorized boats and can only fly fish in the lake, but a very nice 1 mile hike is adjacent to the day use area. Also very close to Cougar for gas and supplies for emergencies. Driving distance to popular day hikes. No cell service.

    Roamer Sites - Oregon

    Fast WiFi, skate park, gym, tramps

    This place is incredible. First to cover the basics.

    The internet is super fast - I was getting 75mbps up/down when I was in my tent.

    They have power/water hookups at each parking spot. The glamping tents have heaters, lights etc. There are heated indoor bathrooms with nice free hot water showers just a short walk away.

    This place is at a year round camp/school that has multiple skate parks, trampolines, mountain biking courses, all season ski jumps etc. it’s an action sports camp.

    They provide things like firewood and ice which they put in your cooler.

    The people are super nice and accommodating. Ask for Jim - he handles all the camping stuff.

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Great place for Families!

    I stayed in the 1 of 5 tent spaces. They were a bit close to the other sites, but still large enough for a few tents if needed. There was only 1 parking lot for the tent/cabin spaces, so had to carry all my stuff about 100 feet. The bathrooms were clean and well lit at night. The bike paths through the campground/park were great and lots of people were using them all day. I walked the path around the entire park, which took me about 3 hours. Along the way got to see the Champoeg Heritage site with period piece actors, wide open spaces, and the Willamette River. There was a huge playground for the kids. There was also a large field area for dogs to roam around, just no fence. For being so close to the greater Portland area it felt like we were much further away. I would recommend this place, just make reservations early.

    Cougar RV Park and Campground

    Good Base Camp for Mt St Helens

    This campground is under very new ownership and the owners are some of the friendliest we’ve met to date. They are also in the process of renovating the property to make improvements. So as I review this it is with the anticipation of all the great changes to come.

    Most of the tent sites had a decent amount of space, and the perimeter ones were a little more private too. We did see some campers set up on the roadside—not sure if they knew what they were getting at the time (I wouldn’t want to be right on the road).

    There were some decently sized RV spots, but the pull through spaces looked a little crowded.

    There are only two bathrooms, each having a toilet and shower in a self contained unit. Naturally, if two people are showering this means that all flush toilets are also occupied. There are two porta-potties to accommodate for this. The owners did keep the bathrooms as clean as possible—but the bathrooms could use some renovating themselves and have a musty smell. There is laundry on site. It’s not the quietest campground we’ve stayed at (not the noisiest either) and it might benefits from clearly defined quiet hours.

    Two blocks away there are two gas stations with mini-markets.

    Only a few minutes away are the Cougar and Beaver recreation areas in the Lewis River. It only takes 10 minutes to get to Mt St Helens Ape Cave, Trail of Two Forests and Lava Canyon area.

    Mount Hood National Forest Armstrong Campground - TEMP CLOSED FOR FIRE

    Nestled By the Clackamas, Very Clean

    This is a beautiful campground nestled down by the Clackamas River. You can hear it rushing by the campsites, which are right down by the water. Each campsite has a nice sturdy picnic table and a fire pit with built-in grill. The restrooms at some of the cleanest, nicest-smelling pit toilets I've ever seen at a campground, conveniently located within the campground.

    Each site was generously roomy. Our camping trip was, in part, a chance to test drive the new Chevy Blazer SUV. It's a big car but there was no problem maneuvering it through the campground or parking it at our site. We might have even been able to fit another, smaller vehicle too if we had more than one party with us. We had no problem pitching two two-man tents and getting out two camp chairs, and would have had room for a third easily. And although the campground is in sight of one of Oregon's classic pretty bridges and there is some road noise, it's balanced out by the white noise of the Clackamas and wasn't a problem.

    Nearby Fish Creek campground was much busier than Armstrong on a rainy Wednesday night, but we had Armstrong almost entirely to ourselves. A vanlifer left sometime that evening and a camper in a pickup truck with two kayaks appeared close to bed time. Other than that, everything was quiet, secluded and just right for relaxing. We even got to see a bald eagle the next morning!

    Lost Lake Resort And Campground — Mt. Hood National Forest

    Fantastic campground and area

    On our way to Alaska for the SF Bay Area we stopped at several different camping locations along lakes and mountains. The only one we went out of our way to stay at when coming back was Lost Lake Campground. The sites are plenty big, have tables and fire pits. The entire area is amply wooded to provide privacy and the sense of seclusion. The bathrooms were clean and always had TP. There is running water spigots dispersed  throughout the camping areas. If I'm ever in the area it will be the 1st place I go.

For those wanting water views, several campgrounds near Vancouver feature scenic glamping opportunities with pre-set accommodations that eliminate the need to bring your own gear. Options range from fully-furnished safari-style tents to more rustic setups that still offer considerably more comfort than traditional tent camping. Many sites include amenities like real beds, electricity, and private outdoor spaces that traditional camping lacks.

Are there luxury yurts available for glamping near Vancouver?

Hood. These provide a perfect balance of wilderness immersion and comfort. Seaquest State Park Campground is another option with yurt accommodations within driving distance from Vancouver. Most luxury yurts in the region come furnished with beds, seating areas, and sometimes electricity, making them ideal for those wanting to experience nature without sacrificing comfort. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak season.

What's the difference between Vancouver glamping and traditional camping cabins?

Vancouver glamping typically offers a more upscale, design-forward experience compared to traditional camping cabins. At Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground, traditional cabins provide basic shelter with simple amenities. In contrast, glamping accommodations often feature high-end furnishings, luxury bedding, and thoughtful design touches. Oxbow Regional Park showcases the evolution toward glamping with their A-frame structures. While traditional cabins are practical with minimal amenities (typically just beds, electricity, and basic furniture), glamping focuses on creating an immersive, Instagram-worthy experience with mood lighting, unique structures (like yurts, domes, or safari tents), and carefully curated interiors that bring luxury to outdoor settings.

Can I find glamping accommodations with hot tubs in Vancouver?

Columbia Gorge Getaways near Vancouver offers upscale glamping experiences that may include hot tub access depending on the specific unit booked. While traditional campgrounds rarely offer hot tubs, several private glamping resorts and properties in the Vancouver area provide this luxury amenity. For the most comprehensive hot tub glamping options, look to privately-owned glamping sites rather than public campgrounds. These properties typically feature cedar or stainless steel hot tubs perfectly positioned to take in forest or mountain views. Prices vary significantly based on amenities and season, with most hot tub glamping experiences falling in the premium category.
