Glamping season is coming around again in New England, and your dog wants to go with you!
A New England glamping experience is a unique way to explore the outdoors, whether you’re off on a weekend getaway or a mega road trip, and the best way to elevate your experience is to bring your dog along for the adventure.
Glamping accommodations are one-of-a-kind experiences with a strong emphasis on immersion in the natural landscape.
In our search for pet-friendly glamping spots in New England, we found so many cool places, from a cozy woodland yurt in New Hampshire to a beautiful glamping resort on the coast of Maine.
We can’t wait to share them with our favorite dogs, and of course with you!
Where to Find Dog-Friendly Glamping in New England
In addition to booking glamping stays at our favorite New England glamping resorts, we use a variety of online platforms to find glamping properties, so if you don’t find something you like below, hop online and check out some of these resources to find your own.
Here’s an overview of the booking platforms I use to find dog-friendly glamping near me.
- Hipcamp: Hipcamp matches private landowners with people who love the outdoors. Search Hipcamp for regular (private) campsites and some really cool glamping spots. It’s easy to filter out dog-friendly glamping on the platform. If you’ve never booked on Hipcamp before, use our referral link to save $10 off your first stay.
