No Tent? No Problem: Tipis, Yurts and Glamps

There are many reasons why we go camping: to reconnect with nature, strengthen relationships, see stars, disconnect from the stresses of daily life. If you’re reading this, chances are you know all the reasons why you love camping, too. Camping is meant to be rejuvenating, and while that sometimes means packing in for a month-long thru-hike, no one ever said camping had to be hard. If you’re just looking for a quick weekend getaway or have little-ones in tow, the thought of camping – packing, the gear, all the logistics – can sometimes be exhausting, but that doesn’t mean you can’t partake in all the fun!

Luckily, these Hipcamps have hooked it up for you. No tent? No problem. These tipis, yurts and glamps provide all the necessary comforts and camp vibes you’ll ever need.
