Camping is popular among adventure tourists, but it does not have to be boring or entail setting up your own tents. With glamping, guests can revel in the outdoors without giving up on several hotel luxuries such as hot water, internet access, and comfortable beds. A wonderful destination to experience glamping is the coastal city of Goleta, just under 10.2 mi (16.42 km) from its more famous neighbor Santa Barbara. Stop by the iconic Coronado Butterfly Preserve where you can witness monarch butterflies during their migration cycle. Glampers will also surely enjoy the sun at Goleta Beach Park. You can also go hiking at Santa Barbara Shores Park or go fishing at Lake Los Carneros. Scroll down to find the best glamping spots near Goleta, California, for a camping holiday with a twist.
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.
