Found in the base of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is an urban oasis surrounded by natural beauty. You can enjoy all of the attractions of an urban environment, such as touring art galleries and sipping beers at a few of the city’s craft breweries. You can also head to the University of Colorado Boulder, which is home to the University of Colorado Art Museum and the University of Colorado Natural History Museum. However, if you’re visiting Boulder, you should spend more time out in nature. There are dozens of ways to do so. Hike or bike on its many trails, go tubing in Boulder Creek, try rock climbing, and indulge in skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Much like how Boulder balances urban and outdoorsy activities, glamping provides luxurious accommodations in a rustic setting. For the best of both worlds, check out the best glamping spots near Boulder, Colorado.

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.
