Camping is one of the best ways to get up close to nature and immerse yourself in everything the country’s best sights have to offer. But for many people, there are sides of camping that aren’t so enjoyable like setting up tents, dealing with bugs, and sleeping on the ground. RVing is the perfect solution, letting happy campers bring the comforts of home wherever they roam. If you’re looking to enjoy some glamping, RVing is the way to go!
Whether you already own an RV, you’re looking to purchase a new RV, or you’re browsing used motorhomes for sale, you can start vacation planning by checking out our top glamping destinations across the country.
What is Glamping?
Glamping is a word that combines two other words, glamorous and camping. It’s a type of accommodation where you have many comforts of home without being in a traditional hotel or home. RVing can be considered a type of glamping, where happy campers bring their Glamping RV along for the ride. The RV may be a pop-up RV, a large motorhome, or a towable RV. Essentially, any recreational vehicle that brings additional amenities and comforts can fit within the glamping definition.
Top Glamping Sites
There are plenty of glamping destinations across the country, and we’re going to focus on those glamping locations that are perfect for RVs and motorhomes. After all, your travel trailer, motorhome, or fifth wheel RV can turn any campsite into a glamping campsite.
