The Best Glamping in New England

It’s official – my husband and I spend as much time glamping as we do pitching our tent. That’s probably because where we live, the night-time temps are below freezing for six months out of the year – thanks Vermont!

We’ve done a lot of glamping in New England and have stayed at properties that feature glamping tents, cabins, yurts, treehouses, and more. With glamping, we can have lots of outdoor adventures and then settle in for the night in a real bed. Most New England glamping properties are similar in price to a hotel room, but they are more unique with a strong emphasis on the outdoors. It’s no wonder we love glamping so much!

Because we live in New England, it’s where we’ve had most of our glamping adventures. The following posts feature some of our favorite places to go glamping in New England – perfect for your next outdoor adventure!

So many cool spots – so little time!

How to Find Great Glamping in New England

We use for main sites when hunting for unique glamping properties in New England. While each of these websites is a platform for private land or homeowners to host guests, there are subtle differences between them. Here’s an overview of the sites we use to find amazing glamping in New England.

  • Glamping Hub – We find the most unique glamping opportunities on Glamping Hub, which features yurts, treehouses, cabins, and glamping tents. Glamping sites do tend to be more luxurious and expensive, but the booking process is easy and there are lots of Massachusetts glamping properties to choose from.
  • Hipcamp – Hipcamp specializes in all types of private campsites, not just glamping. As of right now, most of the Hipcamp properties in Massachusetts are in the Berkshires. Generally speaking, these Hipcamp properties are rustic and affordable.
  • Tentrr – Tentrr is relatively new on the scene, but we are loving the concept. Signature Tentrr sites are ready-to-go glamping tents made of canvas, complete with a bed, woodstove, and toilet. They are very private spots in unique locations. Prices are pretty standard, between $95 and $150 per night. Right now, Tentrr sites in Massachusetts are located almost exclusively in the Berkshires.
  • Airbnb – If you navigate to the Airbnb website, you will find a section titled “Unique Stays” under “More Filters”. From there, you can filter your search to include barns, castles, yurts, and campers, among others. Massachusetts glamping sites are limited, but there are a few that are worth checking out. New to Airbnb? Use our referral code to save $40 off your first booking.

Our favorite spots for Glamping in New England

We’ll keep this page updated as we visit new spots in New England. Right now, we’re pretty heavy on Vermont, and haven’t done any glamping in Connecticut or Rhode Island. Time to plan some more glamping adventures!

No time for a New England road trip? Why not plan a backyard glamping staycation?

First, a couple of posts that cover all six New England states:

The Best Destinations for Winter Glamping in New England – The perfect retreats for your next winter getaway!

Awesome New England Camping Cabins for Your Next Adventure – A little more rustic with very basic amenities, but still awesome!

Vermont Glamping Retreats

Moose Meadow Lodge and Treehouse
One of our favorite luxury glamping spots in Vermont!

Vermont is our home, and we’ve done a lot of camping and glamping throughout the green mountains and beyond.

The Best Treehouse Glamping in Vermont – Featuring the most STUNNING treehouses we have ever seen!

Pet-Friendly Cabins Vermont – Featuring awesome dog-friendly cabins for your next vacation!

The Perfect Southern Vermont Vacation Rental – Located in Pownal, Vermont, this converted barn is pet-friendly and big enough for a large family. It’s also got a pool and a hot tub!

Yurt Camping in Bristol, Vermont – We loved our stay at this magical yurt in Bristol, and there’s great hiking and beautiful waterfalls nearby.

The Best Farm Camping in Vermont – Not exclusively glamping sites, but there are a few unique Vermont cabins on this list.

Winter Glamping in Vermont: Stay in a Geodesic Dome in Putney – One of our favorite Vermont glamping trips ever. This little dome is very unique and close to great trails in Southern Vermont.

The Perfect Vermont Treehouse Rental for Your Next Vacation – This treehouse in Waterbury is luxurious and on the pricey side, but so worth it!

Glamping in Massachusetts

We are just a stone’s throw from the Berkshires of Massachusetts, which is a hot spot for glamping and outdoor activities. As of right now, we don’t have individual reviews of glamping spots in Massachusetts. We hope to change that in the near future! In the meantime, check out some of these awesome spots for your next Massachusetts glamping adventure:

Glamping in New Hampshire

New Hampshire is such a diverse state, with so many great opportunities for outdoor adventures. If you want all those adventures combined with a cozy spot to sleep each night, leave your tent at home and check out one of these –

Amazing Glamping Destinations in New Hampshire

Glamping in Maine

We lived in Maine briefly when we were just starting our little family. There’s something about that rocky coast and those deep, wild forests that we can’t get enough of. We’re hoping to expand our glamping experiences in Maine this year.

Incredible Glamping in Maine on the Saco River – This was our first experience glamping with Tentrr, a company that provides landowners with a full glamping set-up for guests. We loved this little spot on a Maine lavender farm.


Have you been bitten by the glamping bug? Do. you have any recommendations for glamping in New England?
