Minnesota is blessed with a plethora of national forests, state parks, wilderness areas, and other great places to visit, making it an ideal destination to pitch a tent and soak in the beauties of the outdoors. The lakes and the waterways that abound throughout the tall prairie grass in several parts of the state are homes to a variety of campgrounds that offer different amenities for varied camping experiences. If you would like to enjoy the outdoors, however, but you don’t want to lose the pleasures of modern luxuries, then you don’t have to consider traditional camping grounds. All you need is a glamping experience. And luckily for you, Minnesota has plenty of such spots. Scroll down for a brief description of some of the most affordable spots for glamping in Minnesota, USA.
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. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 08, 2024.
1. Laguz Dome, Tofte (from USD 395)
To experience glamping in winter in Minnesota, visit Laguz Dome in Tofte. It is carefully crafted with a climate-specific reinforced steel frame and fabric liners.

Kirk, the owner, has also taken care to make sure your stay and glamping experience is as peaceful as possible. The conscious placement of the four dome structures even ensures a private experience.
