What about Glamping in New England?

In recent years, a new style of travel has hit the scene—and it’s really taken off. That travel style is called glamping, and it is a mix between glamour and camping; in other words, a way to be in nature without sacrificing the luxuries of a comfortable hotel stay. 

As this trend has grown in popularity, countless places to go glamping in New England have emerged. This is the ideal region for this kind of travel experience. The six New England states are bursting with beautiful outdoor spaces that lend themselves perfectly to camping—and now, to glamping.

Glamping is, essentially, a step up from camping. Glamping can range from a super-luxurious tent experience that is decorated and outfitted to give you a real hotel or resort-type stay. Other glamping spots are more rustic, but they still go above and beyond a simple canvas tent and sleeping bads.

Whether you choose to go glamping or book one of these fantastic New England VRBOs or Airbnbs, have fun and enjoy your stay!
