Where to go Glamping in Vermont

Glamping or glamorous camping is all the rage in Vermont now. It's more removed from society than a hotel or motel room. But, it has many more creature comforts than traditional tent camping.

But, where can you go glamping in the state of Vermont? Not just anywhere will work. You'll want to choose somewhere that has access to amenities like showers while still being remote enough to enjoy your time alone.

So, if you're not familiar with glamping, let me explain how it's different than camping. When you go camping in Vermont, you bring your own tent and set it up in a remote area to experience the simple beauty of nature.

When you go glamping, there is generally some type of framed shelter already in a natural setting. And, it is close enough to amenities like electricity, a toilet, and a refrigerator.

Of course, Vermont is the perfect spot for camping. We have miles and miles of woods and pastures where you can set up and be alone for a weekend. And, for those that want glamping instead of camping, make sure you go here:

Timbertrail Post and Beam in Shaftsbury
