GLAMPING GEORGIA: 18+ MOST UNIQUE PLACES TO ESCAPE

Glamping — or glamorous camping — is basically an upgrade in accommodations for those who love nature and adventure, and the great outdoors. 

Whether it be in a treehouse, yurt, RV, caboose, teepee, geodesic domes, vintage airstream, or lodge, these places are for those who either want a unique sleeping experience, or lots of luxury. (Or both!)

Read on for Glamping Georgia: 18+ Most Unique Places to Escape! From North Georgia to the East Coast – let’s go glamping!

Our list includes everything from accommodations that come with a private chef, to just a simple step up from popping your own tent with outdoor showers.  No matter what you're looking for when it comes to glamping, Georgia has something for everyone.

GLAMPING TENTS AT LAKE LANIER AND CLARKS HILL LAKE

The Timberline Glamping Company, formally Georgia Glamping Company will set up a beautiful bell tent for you along the shores of Lake Lanier at Shady Grove Campground in Cumming (pictured above)! 

Complete with queen and twin beds, linens, a mini fridge, heat and air, rugs, and lighting – when you think of glamping, you think of this. 

And if you have family and friends that want to join you, Roxy the Retro RV is also available at Shady Grove, or she can be booked separately as a private getaway.

We stayed with them shortly after they opened, in the tent pictured above. Since then they have grown considerably.

Other locations include:

• Amicalola Falls
• Clarks Hill near Augusta
• Unicoi State Park
• Hillsborough River State Park in Tampa, FL
• They even offer wine bungalows at Chateau Elan (for day use)

You'll find bell tents (pike the one in the photo), safari tents, geo domes and the cutest retro RVs.
