Everything You Need to Know to Get Excited About Spring Glamping

Glamping is one of the most fun and rejuvenating ways to enjoy the outdoors. No matter what time of year, who doesn’t love the cozy vibes or a stylish yurt? Hearty meals, hot tubs, warm showers, and a cozy bed. In the spring, glamping gets even better. With the sunshine comes wildflowers, animals, and many more opportunities to get outside. 

Read on to discover why glamping in the spring is the best! Start planning your next getaway today.

Mild Weather, Maximum Comfort

Finally, the sun is out, and clouds are much less frequent. Yes, rain persists, but it’s turning the world green once again! This is the sweet spot in the seasons. It’s no longer snowy, and the summer heat has yet to kick in. Spring glamping means you get to enjoy these mild conditions in maximum comfort. Enjoy early rays under a sunshade tarp on the porch, then cozy up by the stove during evening showers. At night, when it gets really chilly, a glamping yurt will stay nice and toasty warm. With the heat of a tent stove and layers of blankets, enjoy glorious nights of sleep outdoors!

Nature is in Full Bloom

Cue the wildflowers, birds, bugs, and everything in between! Warming temperatures in the spring help bring life back to nature. On your glamping trip, enjoy the vibrant colors of nature right outside your yurt. Have a picnic in grassy fields and even spot some wildlife! Whip out your binoculars and animal booklets, and hit the trail on a mini springtime safari. See if your glamping ground offers any wildlife tours or recommends any spots to go look. And don’t forget your bug spray!

Beat Summer Crowds!

Make the most of springtime lulls. Campgrounds and glampgrounds can get crazy with crowds during the summer. So, make your reservations just before the end of the off-season. Smaller crowds mean it is quieter throughout the day and night. Additionally, there is a little more privacy for lounging on the porch and chilling in the hot tub. Take advantage of smaller lines when it comes to shared amenities. Bathrooms and showers become much more available. There are so many perks to glamping in the spring!

Hit The Trails

After a long, cold winter indoors, spring is the time to get back outdoors. Get back on sunny trails! As mentioned earlier, this time of year means crowds are much smaller. It’s a great time to try out new trails, old favorites, and spot signs of life along the way. There is something special about freshly melted snow and cleared trails. There is a renewed sense of life, everything is so fragrant, and it just feels so good to go for a walk under the trees. And the best part? You get to come back for a long, warm shower!

Luxury Camping in Spring: Gear Up for a Stress-Free Escape

Amongst your usual glamping tent accessories, spring opens opportunities to switch things up! Incorporate new ways to lounge, de-stress, and enjoy your glamping space to its fullest.

Stretch and De-stress

At your glamping yurt tent, relish in lying out your yoga mat in the sun and stretching. Take a few moments to breathe deeply and nourish yourself with slowness. The whole point of glamping is to experience the best of both worlds. Spend time on the trail and push yourself physically. Then, come back to your retreat and recharge. So, be intentional on your mat and enjoy the time to recover! 

Hammock Season is Back

And thank goodness that it is! It’s time to level up your lounge game. And seriously, there is nothing like swinging under the shade of trees. Read a good book, take a snooze, or simply marvel at the world above you. Calm your nervous system with the gently rocking back and forth. Hammocking is also a great way to extend your “living” space outdoors. From your glamping yurt to your porch and now to your hammock!

S’mores Around the Campfire

It doesn’t matter if you’re luxury glamping or roughing it backpacking. There is no better way to unwind than making s’mores around the fire. And nothing really kicks off the spring season like cozying up with friends and family. Debrief the day, tell stories, play games, and eat your weight in marshmallows!

Personal Touches Make All the Difference

Just because you’re staying in the outdoors doesn’t mean you have to give up personal luxuries! Glamping is very welcoming of it! What makes you feel most at home? A nightly skincare routine? Comfort books? Your favorite pajamas? How about charcuterie board supplies? Whatever it is that makes you feel a little more comforted and at home, consider it essential. Glamping is your time to get away with having your little luxuries.

Get Decorative!

Ring in the season with some personalized decor. If you’re glamping at a resort, you likely won’t have the opportunity, nor the need, to decorate your tent. But if you’re setting up your own canvas yurt, you can go all out!

A freshly picked bouquet of wildflowers on your table, some pillows and throw blankets, citronella candles, all add to the warm ambiance. Bring your own camping chairs, tables, and cookware to really feel at home. Fairy lights, a wood stove, and essential oils make an even cozier space.

Final Thoughts

Spring is the season for fresh starts, longer days, and the perfect excuse for an escape! Immerse yourself in nature without giving up your favorite comforts. Glamping really is the best of both worlds. Enjoy the newness of spring and outdoor adventure. Relish in cozy beds, warm showers, and hot coffee!

The beauty of fresh buds and wildlife coming out of hibernation is such a beautiful reminder of life. Stretch your legs after a long winter cooped up at home, and get back outside! Smaller crowds at this time of year mean more opportunities for you to enjoy everything. Shorter lines at shared amenities to quieter nights and trails all to yourself. Hit the trails, then stretch on your yoga mat in the warmth of the sun. Take a moment to read in your hammock, the wind blowing around the campfire. Full days of outdoor adventure and the comfort of your own tent make glamping the special experience that it is!

It’s an opportunity for you to slow down, move at your own pace, and soak up the natural elements. Whether you choose to glamp at a luxury resort or set up your own tent near home, you will love glamping in the spring.
