These Are the Best Glamping Spots in the U.S. for 2025—From Hobbit Houses to Forest Domes

Glamping has reshaped how travelers experience the outdoors, offering overnights in nature with luxuries like real beds and electricity. As the trend has gained traction, property owners and campground hosts have grown more inventive: think minimalist A-frames tucked among the trees or geodesic domes with ceiling windows made for stargazing.

Each year, Hipcamp, a platform for booking outdoor stays, releases its roundup of standout glamping properties, culled from reviews, ratings, and booking data across its network of more than 500,000 sites. The focus isn’t just on stylish accommodations in striking settings—it’s also on hosts who deliver thoughtful, memorable experiences.

This year’s unranked list spans the country, from canvas yurts on a working farm in East Oʻahu to a hobbit-style hideaway in the rolling hills of Iowa, where goats, llamas, and peacocks roam.

The No. 1 spot went to Cedar Bloom  in Cave Junction, Oregon. Cedar Bloom Farm blends communal open camping with dreamy glamping in tiny A‑frames, vintage trailers, and domes—including a tiny, two-person “Forest Gnome Dome.” Guests gather at the shared main house with a kitchen, shower house, and sauna.

In second place is Heartwood Mendocino in Mendocino, California. Just minutes from Mendocino’s shoreline is Heartwood Mendocino, a glamping property with canvas-walled cabins that have heated mattresses and luxe linens. Don’t miss the legendary redwood-tree shower or the outdoor kitchen with giant redwood slab tables.

No. 3 is an East coast gem: The Falls at Sewanee Creek in Tracy City, Tennessee. The Falls at Sewanee Creek invites guests to unwind beside Miller’s Falls, a stunning 50‑foot cascade that’s a short walk from the property’s creative lodging—including a treehouse, a “treetent,” and a cabin built from shipping containers. In addition to nearby waterfalls, there’s a nearby cave and a fairy village tucked into the trees.
