Glamping, a portmanteau of “glamorous” and “camping,” has emerged as a recent travel trend, offering a fusion of luxury and adventure for modern explorers. This unique approach to accommodation enables travelers to immerse themselves in the beauty of remote landscapes without sacrificing the comforts of home. At the heart of the glamping experience lies simple, yet comparatively luxurious, furnishings, like a cozy bed, chairs, pre-packed coolers with ice, and many other amenities which help to set a standard of comfort unparalleled by traditional camping.

Beyond the accommodations, the essence of glamping lies in the meticulously curated experiences crafted by knowledgeable hosts who are intimately familiar with the surrounding terrain. For example, Round River Adventures sets up its glamp sites on the sandbars of the Wisconsin River, which provides turnkey access to an experience that might otherwise call for weeks of preparation and planning by anyone unfamiliar with the area. From intimate encounters with nature to bespoke culinary experiences showcasing local flavors of The Driftless, we strive to create unforgettable moments that resonate with the discerning traveler.

While comfortable accommodations remain a hallmark of glamping, the diversity of accommodations is as vast as the landscapes they inhabit. From charming treehouses and futuristic domes to vintage airstream trailers and traditional yurts, glamping sites cater to a myriad of tastes and preferences. Whether seeking solitude in a rustic barn or stargazing alongside a Round River belle tent on the Wisconsin River, the possibilities for immersive and indulgent travel experiences are limitless in the world of glamping.

If you’re looking for something a little different, we’d love to show you something new!
