Glamping in New York City guide

Overview

Trade the Manhattan skyline for the actual sky on your next New York City glamping trip. Head outside the city, and you'll encounter the lush greenery of the Poconos, the serene mountains of the Catskills, and even the state parks of neighboring Staten Island. Whether you’re bringing the whole family or coming for some solo R&R, you're sure to find a glampsite that suits your getaway; cabins, tents, and A-frames range in style and substance, from already set-up tents with bathrooms to elevated treehouses in the woods. Curl up around an indoor firepit in a cozy log cabin or recline beneath the stars during the next summer meteor shower. From your campsite, you can explore hikes along the Appalachian Trail or picnic with produce from a local farm or winery. Glamping in the area is great all-year, though during a colder stay, linger in your sleeping bag with a good book and an even better view.
