Chattanooga might be most known for Chattanooga Choo Choo, but it’s most famed for boatloads of outdoor activities and fun, such as water sports, cycling, hiking, rock climbing, and many more. Are you an intrepid adventurer? The southeastern Tennessee hills are chock-full of caves poised and ready for exploration. Alternatively, you could hike to the famous and nearby Ruby Falls, which has a 145-feet (44-meter) underground waterfall. Fans of hiking will love the stunning and sweeping views of seven states from Lookout Mountain. Water sports enthusiasts looking for thrills could go on enthralling rafting trips on the Tennessee River. After indulging in so many amazing outdoor activities, how about camping in the wild but with comfort? To that end, check out the best glamping spots near Chattanooga, Tennessee.

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.
