The Dyrt Announces The 2026 Glampy Awards Presented by Ramble

The 5th annual Glampys recognize the Top 10 glamping locations in the U.S.

PORTLAND, Ore., May 12, 2026 — The Dyrt, the app to get the best campsites, built by the largest RVing and camping community in the U.S., has announced the winners of the 2026 Glampy Awards Presented by Ramble, a nature-focused campground brand. This is the fifth year that The Dyrt has recognized and celebrated some of the most unique, creative and next-level glampground destinations throughout the country.

For the first time, repeat winners were allowed for this year’s Glampys, which means this competition was open to every glamping property in the United States from A-frame to Zion. Speaking of Zion, we also have our first back-to-back Glampy Award winner. Zion Glamping Adventures in Utah, with its luxurious bell tents set against an iconically western backdrop, takes the top spot for the second consecutive year after winning in 2025.

“Glamping is no longer a new phenomenon. It’s a continued, collective experiment to expand the possibilities for campers and glampers alike,” says Kevin Long, CEO of The Dyrt. “Whether it’s outside-the-box accommodations like space pods and converted school buses, or just putting a drive-in movie theater at a campground, at the end of the day there’s one common goal — provide an unforgettable experience in the great outdoors.”

There are six repeat winners and four new glampgrounds on the list this year. In addition to Zion repeating its Glampys honor, Space Cowboys in Texas was No. 1 in 2023, Loving Heart Retreats in Texas was No. 1 in 2024, Ofland Escalante in Utah was No. 2 in 2022, North Haven Campground in Idaho was No. 2 in 2025, and The Oasis at Bear Run Farm in West Virginia was No. 3 in 2024.

Nominated by The Dyrt’s camping community and awarded on a subjective basis, this tournament-of-champions-style list of top glampgrounds was chosen for overall glampiness, originality, innovation and immersion in nature.

1. Zion Glamping Adventures — Utah

Place: Hildale, UT
Price: $100-$450
Number of sites: 24
Type of sites: Bell tent, cabin, yurt
Fires allowed: Yes
Pets allowed: Yes

Utah is home to some of the best backcountry and primitive camping in the country, but don’t underestimate its ability to be the setting for some of the most luxurious camping adventures you can find. Zion Glamping Adventures is the epitome of that, with two dozen cozy tent sites tucked into a peaceful cove surrounded by the Canaan Mountain Wilderness. Located just 45 minutes from Zion National Park, guests are greeted by panoramic red rock vistas at this glampground that is close enough for day trips yet wonderfully removed from the crowds.

Each tent comes equipped with a big bed, air conditioning, table, chairs, a fire pit and a barbecue, in addition to full bathrooms. Cooking supplies, Wi-Fi and firewood are all included, and hosts provide s’mores at the communal campfire and serve up homemade pancakes and fresh coffee in the morning.

The night sky is a stargazer’s dream and sweeping canyon views from the tents are equally spectacular by day, with Utah’s famous red rock wilderness glowing in every direction. Zion Glamping Adventures also offers family-friendly excursions including side-by-side tours, guided hikes, horse trail rides and biking, and private buggy rides to witness the canyon walls glow at sunset are a particular highlight.

2. Space Cowboys — Texas

Place: Terlingua, TX
Price: $40-$330

Space Cowboys is a glamping experience unlike any other. Located in the heart of the Big Bend region just 10 minutes from the national park and 15 minutes from a legendary ghost town, the property is home to custom-designed, hard-shell space pods. These immersive accommodations deliver a stay that feels equal parts rugged and refined. With floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows framing wide-open desert and infinite sky in every direction, simply waking up here is an event.

The space pods contain first-class airliner seats and a queen-size memory foam bed as aromatherapy diffusers enhance the sense of calm. Nebula lasers light up the ceiling and turn the interior of each pod into its own private galaxy. Every stay includes fresh linens, towels, earplugs and eye masks, along with a mini fridge, power outlets/USB ports, and high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi.

Hot showers are fed by a 750-foot-deep aquifer. Pods also have their own private terrace and firepit, and the property is outfitted with zero gravity swings, hammock chairs and spaceship-style fire zones.

Place: Escalante, UT
Price: $299–$369

One of the most imaginative and luxuriously appointed destinations in the American West is this gem nestled within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Custom-designed deluxe cabins feature panoramic windows, restrooms with a heated private outdoor shower, queen bed and queen sleeper sofa. They also have air conditioning and heat, depending on the time of year and time of day, and private firepits.

Custom-designed tiny cabins take a different approach, featuring soaring 11-foot ceilings and glass walls that fully immerse guests in the sweeping views of Escalante’s landscape, still equipped with a queen bed, A/C and heat. Vintage Airstreams have been transformed into unique guest suites complete with modern comforts, skylights, a queen bed and twin day bed.

But it’s the amenities that elevate the experience. An oversized pool and hot tub invite guests to unwind after a day of adventure while an on-site food truck takes care of dinner. The pièce de résistance is the drive-in movie theater that shows a film every night of the week, popcorn included of course.

Dancing Fire Glamping and RV Resort is one of the most diverse and imaginatively designed glamping destinations in the Great Lakes region.

6. The Cabins at Sandy Mush Bald — North Carolina

Place: Hot Springs, NC
Price: $65
Number of sites: 2
Type of sites: Cabin
Fires allowed: Yes
Pets allowed: No

The glamping at The Cabins at Sandy Mush Bald doesn’t start right away — this is glamping earned. The journey to the accommodation is as extraordinary as the stay, as a 2-mile hike guides guests alongside Bald Branch stream through verdant landscapes up to the cabins at an elevation of 5,000 feet. This makes the awaiting comfort even more inviting in all of its 500 private acres.

The two cabins are steeped in authentic Appalachian history and outfitted with every comfort a weary hiker could want. The Main Cabin was built in the 19th century in Tennessee and moved to the mountain, where it was rebuilt as a cantilever barn-style structure as an homage to Appalachian history and culture. The main floor has a full bathroom, cozy den, library, dining area and kitchen along with a front porch from which to watch an unforgettable sunrise. The loft upstairs can accommodate up to 10.

The Upper Cabin is a dovetail-style antique log cabin features an open floor plan with a kitchenette, wood stove, couch, queen-size bed, full bathroom and loft that sleeps up to four.

8. Osa Trail — New York

Place: Kerhonkson, NY
Price: $135-$155
Number of sites: 1
Type of sites: Tent
Fires allowed: Yes
Pets allowed: Yes

Osa Trail holds, or is at least tied for, the record for most private glampground in America. There’s just one glampsite and it’s perched on a secluded hilltop in the heart of the Catskills bordering Sundown Wild Forest. With spectacular views of hills and valleys stretching all the way to the Berkshires, it offers a sense of scale and solitude that can’t be manufactured.

The tent contains a queen-size bed with memory foam mattress and, for winter stays, the floor is insulated with rubber mats. A stone fire pit and picnic table invite long evenings under the open sky. A “secret” mountain stream waterhole lies within a seven-minute walk from the tent.

Along the drive leading to the campsite there is a shale outcrop full of fossils — mostly prehistoric leaves and branches, but also occasional Brachiopods — yours for the taking if you bring a cold chisel and mallet.

The landscape rewards the curious at every turn, and guests have consistently returned with stories of gorgeous views and meaningful time spent in nature.
