The Dyrt is one of the best camping apps available for people in the U.S., and they just released their 2025 glamping awards, called the “Glampys.” Now in its fourth year running, the Glampys highlights the top glamping destinations in America. This year, we have some truly thrilling options, from covered wagons to cute cabins, and it was all made possible by the new 2o25 Ford Bronco Sport.

The top 5 glamping destinations according to The Dyrt

The Dyrt’s founder, Sarah Smith, notes that all of the locations highlighted in the Glampys deserve a spotlight: “When we first started the Glampy Awards, its purpose was to shine a light on some of the rare finds across the country, glampgrounds that were offering something extraordinary and unique.”

These locations were nominated by The Dyrt’s vibrant camping community and awarded on a subjective basis based on categories such as overall glampiness, originality of design, immersion in nature, and surrounding views.

True to form, all of these properties are also near some bucket-list locales with plenty to see and do during your stay. Here are the top results.

Zion Glamping Adventures

If you want a luxury camping experience in Utah, look no further than Zion Glamping Adventures. This destination is settled right at the base of a mountain, surrounded by the Canaan Mountain Wilderness. They even offer tours into the nearby canyon. This area is not far away from Zion National Park and offers a deluxe glamping experience with picnic tables, chairs, fire pits, a charcoal grill, and shared bathroom and shower facilities. Best of all, it’s pet-friendly and child-friendly.

If you want something truly special, try out the Rock Cavern option. This is a glamping option made from artificial rock that has a queen bed, private bathroom, air conditioning and heat, and a jacuzzi. This package also comes with complimentary breakfast.

North Haven Campground

Birdwatchers will adore the North Haven Campground in Idaho. Since it’s so close to Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Selkirk Loop, visitors can spot over 200 different bird species. Glamping options include luxury log cabins that can sleep four or eight people and have full kitchens, dining and living areas, heated floors, air conditioning, TVs, and sleeper sofas.

For something a bit more exciting, book one of their two new Conestoga glamping wagons. These come with king-sized beds and twin bunks, electricity, heat, a fridge and microwave, an outdoor grilling area, air conditioning, and access to a private bathhouse.

Twin Falls Ranch

The Guadalupe River State Park Area is well-known for its fantastic adventure experiences, but it’s also an excellent area for wine tasting and vineyards. Twin Falls Ranch in Texas has access to everything you need for a spectacular getaway. The Cascade Caverns are right nearby, and there are numerous hiking trails to explore, even on the campground. For those who love shopping, Boerne, Fredericksburg, and San Antonio are all accessible.

Glamping options include the Adventure Tent, which sleeps three or four people, the Escape Tent, which sleeps two, the Cozy Retreat, which sleeps two to four, and the Stargazer, which sleeps two to four. All tents are pet-friendly and have mountain views and Wi-Fi.

Untamed Honey Glampsites

Swinging all the way over to Georgia, Untamed Honey Glampsites is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Clarks Hill Lake is great for fishing and boating, and you can also visit Elijah Clark State Park for some wild hikes. This campground offers six Luna Bell Tents beneath Georgia pines, and even waterfront options are available.

Each tent has a king or queen bed, curated decor, and access to community showers and bathrooms. You can drive in, walk in, or even boat in since these sites are accessible by watercraft.

Scruffy Buffalo Ranch

Idaho certainly is the place to be this year! Scruffy Buffalo Ranch joins North Haven in the top five, for good reason. This campground is right near City of Rocks National Reserve, a famous rock-climbing adventure with some great hikes. Once you’re done scaling those heights, head right down to Scruffy Buffalo Ranch for some much-needed R’n’R.

Scruffy Buffalo has some pretty great bell tents, but the star of the show is its five glamping geodomes, which are complete with windows and great views. For me, the star of the show definitely includes all the activities. Scruffy Buffalo Ranch offers a lot of fun things to do, including quality stargazing, trail rides, and even rodeos.

Overall, the Western side of the United States thrived during the Glampys this year, with glamp-grounds in Idaho winning three spots out of the top 10. Even the staff at The Dyrt were a bit surprised, but after seeing these Idaho locations, it makes sense. According to The Glampys, Idaho is the state to explore this year.

Top attraction at Sequoia National Park finally reopens after 4 years
Sequoia National Forest opens the Crystal Caverns after 4 years of closure
Crystal Cave at Sequoia National Park

Crystal Cave, which is Sequoia National Park's most popular attraction since the park's opening in 1940, will finally reopen for guided tours on May 23 after four long years of closure. These closures were due to several consecutive natural disasters, including the 2021 KNP Complex wildfire, as well as 2022 and 2023 winter storms which brought heavy snow, flooding, and landslides.
“The opening of Crystal Cave is a big step forward in disaster recovery for Sequoia and Kings Canyon,” said Clay Jordan, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks superintendent. “We’re excited to be able to reopen this incredible attraction to visitors and encourage people to enjoy all of the beauty and wonder these parks have to offer.”

Restoration efforts have been extensive near the Giant Forest, where Crystal Cave resides. The Sequoia Parks Conservancy replaced several power lines, stabilized roads, and removed almost 3,000 hazardous trees, with 2,000 more to go.

Lightship’s all-electric AE.1 Cosmos travel trailer finally drops this summer
With the most powerful battery bank and rooftop solar system available on any travel trailer today

The best RVs deliver a camping experience with most (or all) of the comforts of home — "roughing it" without getting too rough. But, there's a new crop of next-generation models designed to take that to a whole new level, thanks to the wonders of modern battery and electric technology. Lightship is looking to be at the forefront of that revolution with the launch of its first all-electric production travel trailer, the limited-edition AE.1 Cosmos.

Inside, the AE.1 interior feels bright, minimalist, and modern in either of the two available colorways: Timberline and DuskHorizon. Because it boasts more glass than any travel trailer I'm aware of — a dozen panoramic windows and a half-dozen skylights in total — the cabin is bathed in natural light while affording unobstructed views of your latest bucket-list-worthy camp spot. It's roomy enough to sleep four adults via a convertible day bed at the rear paired with a convertible midship dinette. You'll find all of the features of a typical luxury RV, including a roomy marine bathroom (with shower and sink), an automotive-grade climate control system, and a galley kitchen complete with a fridge, a microwave, a convection oven, an induction cooktop, and even a dishwasher.
