Glamping in Minnesota

Glamping

Minnesota — the “land of 10,000 lakes” and the source of the mighty Mississippi River — is the perfect spot for glamping. Minnesota fields, hillsides, and roadway banks are ripe with wildflowers in the spring and summer months, beckoning glampers to destinations that provide an extra bit of luxury with the rustic feel of camping. Many of the best RV parks and resorts in Minnesota augment their excellent RV camping facilities with glamping tents, cabins, chalets, and the occasional reconstruction of a Native American teepee with astounding views. While the countryside is the primary draw in these Minnesota facilities, the extras elevate them above a simple RV campground to take your experience from camping to glamping.

Where to Glamp in Minnesota

Minnesota is full of scenic locations ripe for glamping. Whether you are looking for a glamping experience near a large urban area like Minneapolis or wish to visit some of the beautiful rolling hillsides of the state, there are plenty of glamping experiences for you. However, take stock of the season when you go glamping in Minnesota. Winter temperatures often close glamping sites along the northern border with Canada, but the glamping resorts along the southern border with Iowa will still be open.
