Oh, the Places You’ll Go Glamping

Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, the author of beloved books like The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish was born on March 4, 1904. Before he passed away in 1991, he published his anthem to empowerment, Oh, the Places You’ll Go. The book details life’s journeys with all its ups and downs and how to navigate them. We like to think life’s journeys include some good glamping trips so check out these places to go when glamping with us: 

Leavenworth RV Campground • Leavenworth, WA
Thousand Trails Leavenworth • Leavenworth, WA

The Pacific Northwest: with snowcapped mountain backdrops, forestland galore, the Pacific Ocean, and generally a cool vibe, a glamping trip to the Pacific Northwest can provide fun for everyone. Consider checking out what all the fun is about in a tiny home glamping accommodation at either Washington’s Leavenworth Tiny House Village or Oregon’s Mt. Hood Tiny House Village. Open year-round, outdoor fun from skiing to hiking to fishing and festivals can be found when glamping at these locations. Or go coastal and explore the Oregon Coast with a stay at several glamping locations along the coast. Check out petiteretreats.com to see what appeals to your PNW glamping mindset.

Amazing Getaways to Take This Month 

If you’re looking for an “amazing” September glamping getaway, consider some of the places listed by globalgrasshopper.com as “20 Amazing Places to Visit in September” whether you’re looking for last-minute travel inspiration or want to plan for next year. 

Acadia National Park made the list and our Bar Harbor glamping cabins at Mt. Desert Narrows Camping Resort and Narrows Too Camping Resort are the perfect locations to call home while you explore this beautiful national park which made the list due to less crowds, mild days and the beginning of the fall color show which gives the park a special glow. You might choose to bike the Carriage Trails, enjoy the ocean views and stargaze under the night skies. The park’s Jordan Pond is great for stargazing and September is the perfect time to see the Milky Way in the early evening hours.

Washington State’s “Emerald City” gets high marks for a September visit thanks to dry weather, less crowds and “flawless views of Mt. Rainier.” Be sure to book a glamping stay in an ultra-cool yurt at Tall Chief Campground for your visit. September’s offerings in Seattle include all kinds of sporting events including home games for the MLB’s Seattle Mariners, the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and the NHL’s Seattle Kraken. The Seattle Cider Summit, which features 42 artisanal cider producers, is set for September 12-13; while the Oktoberfest in Fremont is scheduled for September 18-20.

Early fall colors and several festivals landed New York’s Adirondack Region on the list and luckily Alpine Lake RV Resort and Lake George Escape Campground are perfect glamping destinations smack dab in the center of the region. The Lake George Jazz Festival is set for September 12-14; the Adirondack Balloon Festival is scheduled for September 18-21, and the Adirondack Harvest Festival is scheduled for Saturday, September 20. Take a sunset cruise on Lake George, visit historic Fort William Henry or spend the day exploring nearby historic Saratoga.

Cape May, New Jersey is a noted September destination because the beaches are quieter and less crowded, but the ocean waters are still warm enough to enjoy. Book a glamping cottage at Thousand Trails Sea Pines and do summer activities in September at the shore. September 13 is the Cape May Harvest Brew Fest featuring craft beers, local artisans and food and the Cape May Oktoberfest is set for September 27 and promises all kinds of Bavarian-themed fun from food to music to dancing. Birders should take note that mid-September begins the migration season for Peregrine falcons and other shore birds so keep your eyes peeled! Other Cape May highlights include the Cape May Wine Trail (it is harvest season, after all), ghost tours (get a jump on the Halloween spookies) and whale watching tours (May through September is peak time for this).  

If we had to add one to the list, we would have to include Yosemite National Park. Waterfalls are still flowing, the fall foliage is peaking out, the park is less crowded, and Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes just down the road is perfect for a fall glamping getaway. The weather is typically moderate and dry in September, so hikes are pleasant. Saturday, September 27 is free admission day for the park.
