The Dyrt is one of the best camping apps available for people in the U.S., and they just released their 2025 glamping awards, called the “Glampys.” Now in its fourth year running, the Glampys highlights the top glamping destinations in America. This year, we have some truly thrilling options, from covered wagons to cute cabins, and it was all made possible by the new 2o25 Ford Bronco Sport.

The top 5 glamping destinations according to The Dyrt

The Dyrt’s founder, Sarah Smith, notes that all of the locations highlighted in the Glampys deserve a spotlight: “When we first started the Glampy Awards, its purpose was to shine a light on some of the rare finds across the country, glampgrounds that were offering something extraordinary and unique.”

These locations were nominated by The Dyrt’s vibrant camping community and awarded on a subjective basis based on categories such as overall glampiness, originality of design, immersion in nature, and surrounding views.

True to form, all of these properties are also near some bucket-list locales with plenty to see and do during your stay. Here are the top results.

Zion Glamping Adventures

If you want a luxury camping experience in Utah, look no further than Zion Glamping Adventures. This destination is settled right at the base of a mountain, surrounded by the Canaan Mountain Wilderness. They even offer tours into the nearby canyon. This area is not far away from Zion National Park and offers a deluxe glamping experience with picnic tables, chairs, fire pits, a charcoal grill, and shared bathroom and shower facilities. Best of all, it’s pet-friendly and child-friendly.

If you want something truly special, try out the Rock Cavern option. This is a glamping option made from artificial rock that has a queen bed, private bathroom, air conditioning and heat, and a jacuzzi. This package also comes with complimentary breakfast.

North Haven Campground

Birdwatchers will adore the North Haven Campground in Idaho. Since it’s so close to Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Selkirk Loop, visitors can spot over 200 different bird species. Glamping options include luxury log cabins that can sleep four or eight people and have full kitchens, dining and living areas, heated floors, air conditioning, TVs, and sleeper sofas.

For something a bit more exciting, book one of their two new Conestoga glamping wagons. These come with king-sized beds and twin bunks, electricity, heat, a fridge and microwave, an outdoor grilling area, air conditioning, and access to a private bathhouse.

Twin Falls Ranch

The Guadalupe River State Park Area is well-known for its fantastic adventure experiences, but it’s also an excellent area for wine tasting and vineyards. Twin Falls Ranch in Texas has access to everything you need for a spectacular getaway. The Cascade Caverns are right nearby, and there are numerous hiking trails to explore, even on the campground. For those who love shopping, Boerne, Fredericksburg, and San Antonio are all accessible.

Glamping options include the Adventure Tent, which sleeps three or four people, the Escape Tent, which sleeps two, the Cozy Retreat, which sleeps two to four, and the Stargazer, which sleeps two to four. All tents are pet-friendly and have mountain views and Wi-Fi.

Untamed Honey Glampsites

Swinging all the way over to Georgia, Untamed Honey Glampsites is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Clarks Hill Lake is great for fishing and boating, and you can also visit Elijah Clark State Park for some wild hikes. This campground offers six Luna Bell Tents beneath Georgia pines, and even waterfront options are available.

Each tent has a king or queen bed, curated decor, and access to community showers and bathrooms. You can drive in, walk in, or even boat in since these sites are accessible by watercraft.

Scruffy Buffalo Ranch

Idaho certainly is the place to be this year! Scruffy Buffalo Ranch joins North Haven in the top five, for good reason. This campground is right near City of Rocks National Reserve, a famous rock-climbing adventure with some great hikes. Once you’re done scaling those heights, head right down to Scruffy Buffalo Ranch for some much-needed R’n’R.

Scruffy Buffalo has some pretty great bell tents, but the star of the show is its five glamping geodomes, which are complete with windows and great views. For me, the star of the show definitely includes all the activities. Scruffy Buffalo Ranch offers a lot of fun things to do, including quality stargazing, trail rides, and even rodeos.

Overall, the Western side of the United States thrived during the Glampys this year, with glamp-grounds in Idaho winning three spots out of the top 10. Even the staff at The Dyrt were a bit surprised, but after seeing these Idaho locations, it makes sense. According to The Glampys, Idaho is the state to explore this year.

With a bright sense of adventure and a heart for the mountains, Sarah is always thrilled to share nature with others through… Read Full Bio
Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style
Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves. 

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.

More than a name: Meet Eddie Bauer, the true-life explorer behind your outdoor brand
Clothing, Hat, Face

From the time I was a little man, I excitedly tugged at the shirt tails of my father and grandfather every time they left the house to do anything relatively outdoorsy. They would leave the house hauling gun cases, fishing poles, camping gear, hiking packs. The men of my life loved everything adventurous, and they would do it every chance they could. When I was big enough, I would be allowed to come with them. I got my own boots. I procured my own active wear that could resist the weather. I opened my own parka for Christmas. Not only was I now in the same boat with them, in the same tent with them, and in the same deer stand with them. I also wore the same brand as them. Eddie Bauer was their go-to, and it had become my go-to.

But what was it about that brand? What was it about the man behind the brand that became the man’s best friend in the wilderness? Well, here is what you need to know about the guy who ditched the work world to open an outdoor brand simply so he could go outdoors all the time. And made it possible for my grandfather, my father, and then me.
