Glamping: a mashup of glamour and camping which promises the comforts of home against the backdrop of mother nature. This luxurious camp style can be a way to ease into the wilderness, without sacrificing all of the luxuries of a traditional vacation. And while it might just look like extra work, the right glamping tents can make the experience more than worth it.
Whether you take the trend seriously or not, it has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Many of your fellow campers are already pairing the sounds of nature with a side of champagne and artisanal chocolate s’mores. Others are waking up to 360-degree views while suspended over rugged terrain.
Whatever your tent style develops into, we’re positive one of these tents will fit you just right.

Are you looking to add some luxury to your next camping experience? Just want to ogle at the opulence? You’re in luck because these glamping tents are sure to impress:
1. Inflatable Bubble Glamping Tent
Price: $1,024
Product Weight: 66lbs
Size: 9ft diameter
Recommended Capacity: 2 person
Material: PVC
Season(s): All
For many of us, it would be a dream to sleep unprotected beneath the stars and wake up with the sun the next morning. Unfortunately, fears of bugs and other invaders can often burst that bubble – but not this time! Set up camp in this uber-futuristic Inflatable Bubble Tent and get ready to make all of your friends jealous. Never again will you miss the sunrise peeking between mountains, or the vibrant night sky above.
The tent comes with an 220-volt blower to keep the bubble inflated, so you can’t go too far off-grid without some portable power. However, you will undoubtedly develop a closeness with the great outdoors that you won’t be able to resist again.

Price: $1,590
Product Weight: 105lbs
Size: ~16ft diameter (5 meters), 9.8ft at highest point
Recommended Capacity: 4-6 person
Material: Waterproof Cotton Canvas
Season(s): All, with winter heater or wood stove
A plain canvas yurt might not scream “glamour” from the outside, but with a 16-foot diameter,
you can fit a lot of comfort inside of this four-season glamping tent.
This canvas bell tent is significantly more practical than the bubble tent for those seeking refuge
in the backcountry, since it is neither see-through nor electric-powered. With screened doors,
windows, screened walls that roll-up, and a Sunforger rain- and mildew-resistant coating, it’ll
keep the comfort in and the elements out all year-round. Weighing in at around 105 pounds, we don’t suggest carrying suggest carrying this one into the wilderness alone. But for a long-term getaway or onsite
rental, the canvas cottage tent will have you and your guests feeling right at home.

Suitable for all climates, the Lotus Belle has roll down canvas blinds, mosquito nets behind its doors, and large roof vents to maximize breathability. It also looks like an upside-down lotus flower (check out their color options), which we think is pretty cool.

The Cocoon Tree is made of aluminum covered with a waterproof membrane. It can be suspended from trees or placed on the ground.

We can’t let you get out of here without reminding you that hammock camping can be just as glamorous as sleeping in a big glamping tent. And luckily for you, this one comes with plenty of options.
Suspend yourself in the air for ultimate views, or recline on the ground the old-fashioned way; either way, Lawson’s patented design will keep you taut and secure. Gone are the days of finding yourself crumpled in a ball in the center of your hammock, creating the banana effect that turns so many us off from this style of camping. Instead, a support bar and arched poles eliminate that risk, providing extra square-footage and saving you from claustrophobia.
The built-in bug net saves you from the hassle of securing a cover in windy environment, and the attachable rainfly adds a layer of security when needed. Don’t worry about waking up wet and covered in bugs because half of your tarp collapsed overnight–yes, it happens and no, it’s not easy to come back from that one.
So elevate your hammock glamping game, you won’t regret it.
