Bastrop has earned its nickname, “the Heart of the Lost Pines,” because of its stunning natural surroundings. Its natural bounty is evident in the rejuvenated Bastrop State Park, Lake Bastrop, and several other beautiful parks. Bastrop can lay claim to being one of Texas’s oldest settlements. Since 1837, this kind and welcoming community has served as a model of true Texan character. The spirits selection in Bastrop is extensive. Step inside Copper Shot Distillery and taste everything they’ve got to offer.

The Sugar Shack is a must-stop for every dessert lover. Since 1995, this confectionery store has been run by the same family. Bastrop’s surroundings offer stunning landscapes, and you should take advantage of them by going glamping. Check out the best glamping spots near Bastrop, Texas, for a great vacation.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots.

1. Chic tent on an expansive rural property

This stunning property is approximately 5 minutes from the Circut of the Americas and 20 minutes from the heart of Austin. The deck for the glamping tent is located at the back of a 5-acre (2-hectare) property.

The location is secluded from the noise and bustle of the city. As you might expect in a rural area of Texas, the scenery will be primarily woods and grasslands. Please keep in mind that there are four other units on the site, all of which have guests, and you are thus not wholly alone. You may take a break in the garden with a bench. Keep in mind that there is no internet here. However, there are outlets and charging stations within the tent for your electronic devices. The hotel provides complimentary parking on site.
