A fresh slate, a blank calendar and a new year of glamping! Here are 12 ideas to have you glamping all year long:
January: The benefits of Florida in January include the mild winter temperatures that top out in the upper 70s and of course, the lack of snow! Florida glamping locations can include the always fabulous Florida Keys (book a tiny house at the Sunshine Key Tiny House Village or glamping cottage at Encore Fiesta Key); a colorful cottage at Encore Tropical Palms in Kissimmee so close to the Orlando theme parks, or a cabin at Encore Miami Everglades.
February: Warm days and cooler nights are what’s promised on a visit to Palm Springs in February. Book a colorful glamping cottage at Thousand Trails Palm Springs and plan to hike the canyons, explore Joshua Tree National Park, ride the world’s largest rotating tram, the Palm Spring Aerial Tramway or plan to attend some of the month’s events that include the Palm Springs Pinot Noir Festival (February 2-3); the Palm Springs Vintage Market (February 4 and February 18), or the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival (February 16-25).
March: The March winds certainly come in handy if you want to fly a kite and Long Beach, Washington is considered the kite flying capital of the world. Check out the World Kite Museum in Long Beach for some ideas and then go fly a kite while staying at a glamping cabin, cottage or yurt at Thousand Trails Long Beach.
April: It’s bluebonnet time in Texas and the Willow City Loop in Fredericksburg is a great place to enjoy the blooming Texas State flower. Book a glamping cabin at Thousand Trails Medina Lake and head into Fredericksburg to start the 13-mile loop. Another highlight here is Bandera, which is billed as the “Cowboy Capital of the World” – located less than 30 minutes from Medina Lake, this little town is worth a look-see.
May: It’s whale watching time and Monterey Bay, which is considered to be the whale watching capital of the world, offers some of the best sightings for blue whales. Book a glamping accommodation at nearby Marina Dunes RV Resort and don’t forget your binoculars!
June: June is one of the best times of year to visit this part of Arizona before the heat of the summer sun makes hiking the beautiful Red Rock State Park a little too steamy! Book a tiny house stay at Thousand Trails Verde Valley and explore the gorgeous scenery with don’t miss highlights like Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock.
July: Head to the Jersey Shore for a summer vacation you’ll always remember. The Jersey Shore is great for sandy beaches, fun-and-games filled boardwalks and the rolling tide of the Atlantic Ocean where you can fish, jet ski and paddle board. There are several Jersey Shore options to glamp at – check out rentals at https://thousandtrails.com/atlantic-city-cape-may-rv-resorts.
August: Maine in August is a good time because the water is warm and the weather is not too hot. Book a cabin at camping resorts Mt. Desert Narrows or Narrows Too and explore picturesque Bar Harbor and the stunning Acadia National Park with plenty of hiking trails. Enjoy the seafood, see the sunrise for Acadia’s Cadillac Mountain, or take in an outdoor concert on the Village Green.
September: In the Lake Tahoe area, September is considered “local summer” as most of the tourists have gone home and this lovely area is less crowded, but just as beautiful. The weather is still warm and the waters of Lake Tahoe are still swimmable. Events in September include the Autumn Food & Wine Festival and a lively Oktoberfest. Book a glamping cabin or cottage at Tahoe Valley Campground and explore this great fall destination.
October: We like to think glamping and leaf-peeping pair well together in autumn. The Tuxbury Tiny House Village might be the perfect glamping spot to take in the beautiful foliage of New Hampshire. Nearby Odiorne State Park is one spot for great leaf-peeping and the Little Boar’s Head Seaside Trail is another option for a color show worth seeing!
November: If you want to explore the Florida Everglades, the best time just might be in November. This time of year is drier, which means less humidity and of course, less of those pesky mosquitoes. Choose from a glamping lodge cabin or bunkhouse at Encore Miami Everglades Resort and you’re less than 10 minutes from Everglades National Park.
December: The beautiful Bavarian-style town of Leavenworth, Washington is always worth a visit, but from late November to late February, the lights come on and by lights we mean over half a million twinkling lights from sunup to sundown. Book a tiny house at the Leavenworth Tiny House Village and explore all the fun things to do here including the Nutcracker Museum, the Leavenworth Reindeer Farm and all the great shops and wine tasting rooms in downtown Leavenworth.
