It’s been a long winter, and there’s been a lot of family togetherness. As we look ahead to summer, the togetherness is likely to stay, so we’re all in need of a little “change up” to our routines. Everyone deserves to have a fun summer vacation – especially this year!
Which is why this is an ideal summer to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. The six sites below are perfect for camping or glamping. The main difference is your desired level of accommodations and personal attention. These destinations are not only ideal for their spectacular natural landscapes but also for their access to adventure, activities and many moments for fun family bonding.
The Top 6 US Glamping Sites are:
- North Rim of Grand Canyon
- Canyonlands National Park
- Zion National Park
- Lake Powell
- Yellowstone National Park
- Escalante National Monument

The range of experiences you can have in these places is as vast as the scenery. Hiking, biking and kayaking are always an option. Also renting house boats, searching for cave paintings, white water rafting, fishing, horse back riding, seeking out wildlife, picnicking, rock climbing and riding in ATVs and jeeps.
Imagine…
sitting by a bonfire under the clear, starry sky while singing along with your guide playing the ukulele
and the kids roasting s’mores. That sounds heavenly right now.
I recommend you get a guide who has deep knowledge of the history and culture of the area and wilderness safety training. It will add a richness to the experience that you just can’t find in a guidebook.
