The Best Spots to go Glamping in Massachusetts
Are you looking for a unique way to spend more time outside in Massachusetts without pitching your tent in a crowded campground? Glamping might just be your answer! Glamping provides many of the comforts of home in a beautiful outdoor setting, and let me tell you – Massachusetts boasts some incredibly beautiful outdoor settings!
From the beautiful seashores of Cape Cod to the mountains of the Berkshires, and every place in between, glamping in Massachusetts is a fabulous way to get outside in all four seasons.
How to find Glamping in Massachusetts
We use a number of online resources when looking for a good New England glamping vacation. Here’s an overview of your options.
- 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.
