10 Unique Florida Glamping Experiences for Outdoor Lovers

Whether you’re unsure about camping but want to try spending a weekend in nature (with the comforts of home), want to visit a beautiful destination without staying in a typical hotel, or just crave a unique getaway experience that revolves around being outside without really roughing it, glamping is a great choice. So let’s go glamping in Florida!

Short for “glamorous camping”, glamping provides the chance to seek out adventure, unwind, and connect with Mother Nature without sacrificing the luxuries of vacation or creature comforts of everyday life. Glamping has existed for centuries in different iterations, dating all the way back to the admittedly more functional yet frivolous palatial tents of globetrotting monarchs who set up camp in spectacular fashion around the world. But most will recognize the canvas glamping tents used in the 1920s by wealthy British and American travelers on safari in Africa that are still popular today.

These same style of canvas tents are arguably the most common type of modern-day glamping accommodations, with the addition of bell tents, yurts, renovated Airstream trailers, treehouse rental, and even a tiny home or two. What makes it a legitimate glamping experience? A luxurious shelter with resort-style amenities in a naturally beautiful destination.

Made up of many diverse and unique National Parks (three in total!), wilderness preserves, natural monuments, and a stunning designated National Seashore, Florida is an outdoor lover’s dream. From surfing and snorkeling to paddle-boarding, kayaking, canoeing, and even dude ranch-ing—not to mention luxury camping—the opportunities to get outside and explore are endless. Just remember to keep an eye out for alligators and manatees!

Lastl, pro tip: The best time to visit Florida is from April to May and October to November to avoid the heat and humidity.

So, want to explore the tropical waters, white-sand beaches, and stunning coastline of the Sunshine State? Below are our top picks for the best Florida glamping rentals to visit this season—or the next.
