Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Average Cost Of A Glamping Tent?

The cost of a glamping tent can vary widely depending on the size, shape, and additional amenities. On the low end, expect to pay around $500 and on the high end, easily $5,000 or more.

What Are Round Glamping Tents Called?

Round glamping tents are either called bell tents or glamping domes.

Do Glamping Tents Typically Have Toilets?

Glamping tents will most likely feature access to a toilet, although it may not be in the tent itself. There may be an attached outhouse, shared public restroom or, in more upscale glamping set-ups, an en-suite bathroom.

Are Glamping Tents Waterproof?

Yes, glamping tents are designed to be waterproof or water-resistant and are often made with a durable canvas that features a waterproof coating.

Can I Take A Glamping Tent On A Backpacking Trip?

We’d advise against it. Glamping tents are typically designed for semi-permanent to permanent installation and are often larger, heavier, and more cumbersome than traditional backpacking or camping tents — making them unnecessary extra weight (and work) on a hiking trip.
