Who is ready to go glamping?

Our brand new book, Where Should We Camp Next? A 50 State Guide to Amazing Campgrounds and other Unique Outdoor Accomdations has over 300 total campgrounds recommendations with 5-11 reviews in each state. Our book also offers up a unique badge system to help readers quickly identify campgrounds that have certain very specific qualities. The badge system gives the following stamps to a limited number of excellent "waterfront," "glamping," "romantic weekend," "rustic," and "family," campgrounds. We wanted to give our readers a sample of some of the campground reviews that appear in the book before it is published on March 2nd. So on today's episode of The RV Atlas podcast, and here on our blog, we are giving you a small sample of just a few of the campgrounds that earned the "glamping" badge.

Here at the RV Atlas we love rustic state park type campgrounds, but we are not afraid to glamp it up! Here are ten places that have luxurious amenities, and in many cases, deluxe glamping tents and cabins if you feel like leaving the RV at home for a romantic weekend!

Here are 8 amazing locations for glamping in the USA! We talk about even more locations on this week's podcast! Listen by clicking on the media player above, or subscribe to The RV Atlas wherever you get your favorite show!

Sandy Pines Campground: Kennebunkport, Maine

If a state park and a resort campground fell in love and had a baby, its name would be Sandy Pines Campground. This magical retreat feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of Kennebunkport, perched on the edge of a salt marsh and filled with beautiful birch trees. The rustic tent sites are tucked back along the water’s edge. The RV sites are spacious, shaded, and perfectly manicured. The glamping accommodations look like they leapt off the pages of a magazine. 

While the campground offers the natural beauty of a state park, the amenities are resort quality. There’s a beautiful pool, activity field with corn hole, ladder ball, and badminton, and a delightful Kid’s Craft Tent. Guests can rent paddle boards, kayaks, and bikes from a local vendor.  They can also enjoy coffee and fresh pastries at the camp store each morning, and burgers grilled by the pool for lunch. 

Massey's Landing: Millsboro, Delaware

East Coast RV owners love resort-styled campgrounds with luxurious amenities--and they are willing to pay $100 a night or more for sites. Massey’s has been the talk of the town among this crowd for several years.  We think the RV sites could be a bit bigger, but we love everything else here. The pool and bay beach are great for swimming, and the onsite Paradise Landing Tiki Bar and Jackspot Pool Bar, means you can have a cocktail or two and walk back (carefully! Watch out for golf carts!) to your site. Massey’s somehow manages to be a good-time campground for the adults while still maintaining a family friendly vibe. Pull in at 9:30pm and Van Halen will be cranking and drinks will be flowing. Pull in at 11pm and just about everyone will be asleep.  If you love to kayak or SUP try to get a waterfront site and you can launch just steps away from your campfire.  

Reunion Lake RV Resort: Ponchatoula, Louisiana

Many RV owners want the same types of resort style amenities and activities that travelers get when they check into luxury hotels--and they are willing to pay for them. Over the last decade the campground industry, particularly in the Northeast and the South, has responded by building true “resort” style campgrounds like Reunion Lake RV Resort. This is a gated resort with concierge level service and facilities. Kids and adults love the Lazy River and Family Pool. But if it gets too noisy or crowded for there--just head on over to the adult pool ...
