Maybe you don’t have the best reputation for being outdoorsy or maybe you’re a seasoned pro—whatever the case, it’s always a good idea to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of the city and out amid Mother Nature…especially when you can do so in style. In 2023, 67 percent of campers said they would go glamping, according to recent data from Kampgrounds of America, which bills itself as “the world’s largest system of open-to-the-public campgrounds.”
When you book a stay at one of these 20 glamping spots near New York City, you will find luxury bedding, gourmet meals and Wi-Fi just to start. And while you might expect a cute tent setup in an open field for glamping, for a more one-of-a-kind experience many locations offer unique options ranging from treehouse glamping and safari-style canvas tents to waterfront beach cabins and even train cabooses. Accessible at every budget, they come in a variety of different locations, from pristine nature settings to spots that are just a stone’s throw from small, charming country towns with serious eats.
