In recent years, glamping has grown in popularity, attributed in part to consumers touting their glamorous camping experience on social media, and a growing appreciation for the great outdoors post-pandemic. Plus, traditional high-end travel is expensive, especially for Gen Z and Millennial consumers who are budget-minded and prefer to spend on unconventional, memorable trips. All of this makes staying in canvas glamping tents an experience worth trying.
So, whether you're dreaming of setting up a glamping tent in your private backyard oasis or hoping to host your own glampsite business one day, if you're feeling the call to glamp, you're not alone. We're here to help.
But where to start? Cabin stays and yurt rentals have traditionally dominated the space, but buying or renting a whole cabin may not be the most accessible option. That's where luxury camping tents come in. They're temporary, portable, durable, and come in countless options to fit most any space and budget. Canvas glamping tents can range in size from 63 square feet to a very spacious 800 square feet and are available in multiple shapes, from the traditional wall tent and tear-drop-shaped bell tent to dome tents and even cabin tents—structures made with wooden framing and canvas walls.
In this guide, we'll dig deep into glamping tents, and of course, offer our picks for the 10 best glamping tents to buy for home and commercial use.
Once you've picked out your tent, it's time to put the "glam" in "glamping." Whether you plan to rent your tent on a platform like Hipcamp, Tentrr, or Glamping Hub, or keep it as your own personal escape, think of decorating your tent like any other homey space. It's probably best to stick with a certain color scheme or style, and especially for renting, its worth purchasing quality pieces and linens to last you longer.
Depending on your climate and the fire resistance of your tent, you can add a mini wood-stove or mini fan for some temperature control. And last, you'll want to set up an outdoor space for guests (or you) to enjoy. A hammock is always a plus and outdoor seating around a fire pit is a must. Now add in a wood-fired hot tub, outdoor sauna, and/or a cold plunge and you're really talkin!

A glamping tent is a semi-permanent outdoor structure that is most likely made of canvas or another durable, waterproof and breathable fabric. Glamping tents are heavier than an average camping tent and require more extensive set up, but are designed for longer stays. They are often equipped with furniture, electricity, heating, cooling and other "glamourous" amenities not found in their camping counterparts.
The cost of a glamping tent can vary widely depending on the size, shape, and additional amenities. The average glamping tent costs around $400 on the low end and easily $5,000 or more on the high end, depending on added amenities.

Glamping tents are often assembled with a kit you can order from a manufacturer, or the manufacturers will put it together for you. Depending on the tent you select, the framing might be made of wood or metal. First, the framing is assembled and then a canvas or other fabric is stretched over the frame and secured to the ground or foundation using stakes, guy lines, or other anchoring systems. Depending on the complexity of the tent shape, this can take anywhere from 2 hours to an entire day.
Round glamping tents are either called bell tents or glamping domes.
Luxury glamping tents, if pithed at an established campsite, should have 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.
Yes, glamping tents are designed to be waterproof or water-resistant and are often made with a durable, tightly woven canvas that is itself water-resistant. Often a waterproof coating is added for extra measure on luxury camping tents.
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. That said, Danchel Outdoors does make a 24 lb yurt tent that is considered "lightweight" for glamping tents, so if you must, try that.
