Glamping in the Wild: A Guide to Under Canvas Locations

If you love the idea of sleeping under the stars but aren’t thrilled about roughing it in a sleeping bag, there’s a perfect middle ground: glamping.

Short for glamorous camping, glamping blends the beauty of the outdoors with the comfort and style of a luxury retreat. One of the best ways to experience it is with Under Canvas, a collection of luxury safari-style camps located near some of the most breathtaking national parks in the United States.

These unique camps allow travelers to immerse themselves in nature without sacrificing comfort — making them ideal for milestone trips, romantic getaways, and bucket-list adventures.

What Is Glamping?

Glamping takes traditional camping and elevates it with thoughtful design, comfortable accommodations, and curated experiences.

Instead of pitching a tent and sleeping on the ground, glamping at Under Canvas means:

  • burning stoves for cozy evenings
  • On-site dining and curated outdoor experiences
  • You’ll still fall asleep to the sounds of nature and wake up to incredible landscapes — but with a level of comfort that feels far more like a boutique hotel than a campsite.
