You no longer need to leave NYC to go on the glamping adventure you’ve always wanted. Located just a 7-minute ferry ride from the city, Governors Island’s Collective Retreats lets you glamp with views of the Statue of Liberty. Stay in a stylish tent or outlook shelter, which lets you connect to nature while maintaining creature comforts. Each accommodation has deluxe bedding, Wi-Fi and electricity.

This new experience is a bit different from what you might expect when you think of “glamping.” Stay along the East River in a converted shipping container, a tent, or a repurposed airstream. These accommodations are on the smaller side, with most sleeping two—the shipping containers have a queen-sized bed and a sofa—so this is a good option for a small family or a parent-and-child getaway. All units have heating and AC, and there’s plenty of space outside to BBQ and picnic.

If you’re all about family fun times (too much quiet gets boring!) this campground is located right on the property of the Lake Compounce theme and water park. With everything from basic tent sites to tipis and two-bedroom cabins available, you can choose your level of roughing it vs. hotel-style amenities. There’s also a playground, basketball court, and themed activity weekends. And when you’re ready to leave the campground, the water park has plenty to offer for thrill-seekers of every level.

Camp out on a farm and enjoy nature, unplugged time, and some delightful animals like chickens and pigs. This site places you in a tiny house, complete with a fire pit and picnic table. You also have access to a shared outdoor kitchen shower, wash sink, and outhouse. Note that while the house includes a full-size mattress, you’ll have to bring your own bedding.

This “leave-no-trace” glamping location provides most of the gear for you, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the scenic forest. You can book a tiny house, a vintage trailer, a very cool-looking geodesic dome, or three bedrooms in the main house. All campers will have access to the outdoor kitchen, shower, farm table, outhouse, and even a wood-fired hot tub. As this is an active farm, you can hang out with some alpacas, sheep, goats, and chickens.

If you have a family with varied likes and hobbies, ELIK will keep everyone busy. Choose whether you want to stay at a luxurious yurt or tent, all of which come with a private bathroom, indoor or outdoor kitchen, air conditioning and heat, Wi-Fi, and so much more. In addition to these super-comfy options, the campground’s cabins are planned to open in Spring 2023, and camper rentals are available, providing even more options.

This glamping site is located on a whopping 600 acres or hardwood forest. Brand-new cottages offer a way to enjoy the calm of nature while still living in comfort. Cottages can house up to six people and come with a full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, and screened porch. The campsite is nestled right up against the Long Island Sound, so campers can take a dip or go fishing. A kids’ playground is available nearby, as well as picnic tables, and hiking trails.

Hey, hey, hey—Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park is a perfect getaway for families. Rent out a fully decked-out cabin (take your pick between luxury or rustic) and hit the on-site water park, mini-golf course, laser tag, and other outdoor activities. The water park is family-oriented and has swimming pools, a lazy river, a large water playground with slides, and more fun ways to cool down on a hot summer day with the whole fam.

“It’s time to gather at the lake” is Keen Lake’s tagline, and the glamping experience at the Cottage Resort makes this a pretty appealing proposition. Campers at this Poconos spot can rest up in large tents or have lunch al fresco at the picnic table or by the fire ring. Tents include amenities like a mini-fridge and coffee maker, and can sleep four people (though visitors are allowed to bring their own air mattress or sleeping bag to sleep up to two additional people).

Go kayaking and river tubing down the Schroon River when you camp at Adirondack Safari! The tents are huge and plentiful, and can accommodate large families in any configuration (there are beds of different sized available to accommodate any family type and size). The tents also include luxurious rugs, a side table, fan, lamp, power strip for your electronics, a fire pit, picnic table, and more.

This beautiful campsite has all the amenities you expect while glamping, but the tents are beautifully integrated into their surroundings. Tents are available in two sizes, for three or four people (you can also request a cot), and include a plush bed, hardwood floors, a private porch with rocking chairs, lanterns, and even a desk and chair.
