For those of you who might not know, glamping literally means luxurious or glamorous camping. Think of it as luxury camping – a camping tent with air conditioning, attached bathrooms instead of shared porta-potties, hot water in the showers and everything that you can imagine. It’s basically camping, sometimes in the middle of nowhere, but without the hassle of camping. So, you get to enjoy your ‘getaway vacation’ while enjoying all the comforts and amenities of a modern room. And Ithaca offers a range of glamping options - from luxe tents to private campgrounds in Ithaca. If this sounds like your kind of holiday, check out the seven best spots for glamping near Ithaca, New York. Your glamping holiday awaits!
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.
