Looking for a fun New England adventure that gets you outside without making you sleep on the ground? It’s time to give glamping a try!
Glamping isn’t just a trendy buzzword – it’s an exciting way to enjoy the outdoors and experience unique, rustic lodging at the same time. Glamping in New England is especially memorable – maybe because the night-time temps dip below freezing for six months out of the year.
We were bit by the glamping bug a few years ago, and love that we can still have immersive outdoor experiences without packing ALL THAT GEAR or sleeping on the ground.
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, you 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 here 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!
How to Find Great Glamping in New England on Your Own
We use four main sites when hunting for unique destinations for glamping 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 have found really eclectic 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 spots to choose from.
- VRBO – Vacation Rentals by Owner is awesome for finding sweet little New England cabins nestled in the woods. We’ve also found a few yurts, treehouses, and waterfront camps.
- Hipcamp – Hipcamp specializes in all types of private campsites, not just glamping.
- Airbnb – The Airbnb platform is always changing, but the current dashboard shows you icons across the top of the webpage so that you can filter your search by cabins, treehouses, tiny homes, and more. Definitely read the fine print on Airbnb because every property handles fees and cancelations differently.

Of all the New England states you could pick for a secluded getaway, glamping in Maine gives you the most options.
