Grab your partner or a group of friends. Grab your adventure pup. And get ready for a luxurious weekend. We’re going glamping!
Glamping is no doubt a word you’ve heard more and more of lately. It's trending—sure. But what exactly is it? And why should you, dear Field Mag reader, even give a rat’s tail about it? Well, keep reading.
Glamping means glamorous camping. It’s where your tents are a bit more luxe than a two-person backpacking tent, and the locations are a bit more accessible. Imagine waking up in a real bed (yes, a real bed!), next to your favorite national park (Olympic National Park anyone?), on an organic farm, and trading in your cowboy coffee for an actual slow-brewed cup. But still in your favorite speckled blue camp mug, of course.
It doesn’t make you any less of an outdoors person to enjoy bringing the best comforts of home to the campsite. Perfect for new outdoorists and seasoned campers alike (and for parents with small children or someone who might be too intimidated to try camping on their own for a night), glamping is an inviting way to experience life in nature.
And where better to set up for a weekend in a canvas safari tent, comfy yurt, or elevated tiny home than The Great Northwest. With the Evergreen State in mind, we've put together the following list of Washington glamping spots to give you access to some of the best hiking trails, views, climbing spots, national parks, and outdoor adventure in the PNW.
So, now that you know what glamping is and you have a few ideas on what to do when you go, what can you expect from this glamping list? Well, we aren’t counting cabins as glamping. Instead, you can expect plenty of safari-style canvas tents, yurts for soaking in the quiet life, and even a geodesic dome or two.
Whether you’re into hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, or just chilling around a fire pit or setting off in search of your own trail magic, these best glamping getaways from Olympia to Mount Rainier and everywhere else in Washington State, are your excuse to do that—and so much more.
