It’s Kinda Chic to Go Glamping

We think we can safely say glamping is here to stay. Unlike Fro-Yo, planking, and even NFTs, glamping got very popular in the mid-2000s and thankfully, stayed very popular. It is even kinda  chic to go glamping. And if you glamp with Petite Retreats, there are all kinds of ways and places to embrace this glamour-camping trend. 

It’s kinda chic to enjoy a tiny house

You can call tiny houses a trend within a trend. Tiny house glamping accommodations became popular around 2010-2011 and they have only become better with time. The plus here is that they have all the comforts of home – including kitchens with microwaves, indoor bathroom facilities, ample space for activities and comfy sleeping lofts. Many of our tiny house communities even offer pet-friendly accommodations, so your best furry friends get to come along. Check out the tiny houses for glamping at Leavenworth Tiny House Village (WA); Mt. Hood Tiny House Village (OR); Natchez Trace Tiny House Village (TN): Sunshine Key Tiny House Village (FL); Tuxbury Pond Tiny House Village (NH); and Thousand Trails Verde Valley (AZ).

It’s kinda chic to enjoy a cozy glamping cabin

The upside of the cabin is that you really don’t have to worry whether your camping trip will include shivering in your sleeping bag or running for cover in the middle of the night for a warm, dry car. A cabin provides a rustic glamping experience and sound shelter. Cabins abound within Petite Retreats so check out our site to find one for you – to highlight a few, consider a New England getaway (Maine’s Mt. Desert Narrows Camping Resort and Narrows Too Camping Resort); the Oregon Coast (Thousand Trails Pacific City or Thousand Trails Seaside); or the Midwest (Arrowhead RV Campground or Plymouth Rock Camping Resort in Wisconsin.)

It’s kinda chic to be colorful

What can be more smile-inducing than waking up in a sunny cottage in your favorite glamping destination or coming home to one after a long day spent enjoying the great outdoors? Our colorful glamping cottages can be found in popular glamping destinations including Florida, Maine and Virginia.

It’s kinda chic to be unique

Have you ever enjoyed glamping in a yurt? Or a refurbished storage container? A glamping stay in a yurt often promises canvas walls, weatherproof roofs, plenty of space, skylights and a way to connect to nature without worrying about the weather. Our yurts can be found near Yosemite National Park (Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes); in Pennsylvania Dutch Country (Thousand Trails Circle M); as well as in Oregon, California, Wisconsin, and Washington State.  Does innovation and sustainability do it for you? If so, check out the tiny house containers for a glamping stay when visiting the Wisconsin Dells area and book a glamping stay at Yukon Trails Tiny House Container Village and enjoy these unique glamping accommodations.

3 Indoor Glamping Adventures for Staying Cool This Summer 

The great thing about glamping accommodations is that the weather isn’t the biggest factor when in comes to changing plans. How many times have you been sweating through a heat wave and tempted to end the camping trip early? With glamping accommodations like cabins, cottages and tiny houses, we say bring on the sun, wind, and rain since the roof over your head is pretty solid. Plan your next glamping expedition in a glamping accommodation with us and check out our list of indoor attractions where you’ll have fun, whether or not the weather cooperates.  

Mt. Hood Tiny House Village: Rent a tiny house accommodation and if the weather proves too inclement for all the outdoor fun here, check out the North American Bigfoot Center for some “big” indoor fun at this museum that includes bigfoot evidence, artifacts and a life-sized sasquatch replica! The Mt. Hood Scenic Byway is a great way to see the area from the controlled climate of your vehicle – this 100-mile loop circles the south side of Mt. Hood. You can also opt for the less than an hour drive into Portland to see some of Rose City’s best indoor attractions including the Portland Art Museum, the Pittock Mansion, and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.  

Natchez Trace Tiny House Village: You never know what Mother Nature has in store, so maybe a tiny house accommodation is a good idea if you plan on visiting Nashville on your next glamping trip. Indoor attractions worth a look in Nashville include the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman Auditorium and the Frist Art Museum. And if you’re looking for cozy comfort food, take a drive to the Loveless Cafe for their homemade biscuits and southern comfort food or Hattie B’s for a taste of some of Nashville’s famous hot chicken.

Encore Tropical Palms colorful cottages: OK, so this is a Disney-friendly location in Kissimmee offering colorful glamping cottages, but what is there to do in Disney when you need an escape from the heat? According to mostmagicalblog.com, Disney is still very doable and alternatives to outdoor attractions include indoor rides like the Haunted Mansion, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, The American Adventure and Country Bear Jamboree, to name a few (there are plenty more!) Plus, the shops and restaurants provide dry spaces throughout the four theme parks in Walt  Disney World!
