Let’s face it: camping isn’t for everyone. If you’re not into braving “the great outdoors” for an overnight adventure, all hope is not lost. Smoky Mountains glamping combines the best of camping, with the amenities of luxury lodging. If you’ve never heard of glamping (or luxury tent camping), or are interested in learning more, this beginners guide to glamping is for you.
What Is Glamping?
Glamping in the Smoky Mountains combines the traditional experience of an overnight stay in the outdoors, with the modern amenities of your favorite lodging options. Experiences may be offered in luxury tents, cabins, huts, tepees, tree houses, trailers or other lodging options. Glamping lets visitors get outdoors without leaving behind the comforts that make you feel at home. You’ll also have less gear to drag along, because glamping sites are set up and ready for your arrival.
Glamping Amenities
Because the type of lodging varies significantly, amenities vary as well. At one glamping site, you may have air conditioning, running water, heating, electricity, TV, wifi, or a wide range of other amenities. Think about the things you love about a hotel, and merge them into a camping experience. Does it seem too good to be true? It’s not. There are glamping experiences all over the Smoky Mountains.
Glamping Destinations
Glamping in the Smoky Mountains comes in many forms. Enjoy luxury tent camping or spend the night in a tree house or retro camper at Camp LeConte. You can even rent yurts, airstreams and more in the area on AirBnB. Your options are limitless. If traditional camping doesn’t strike your sense of adventure, you’ll find a way to make it work with glamping.
