Who Should Try Glamping?
Glamping is a great option for guests looking to experience the great outdoors, and get a “camping experience” without all the work. No more do campers have to worry about managing tent poles and pegs, hauling your tent and bedding from the car, and spending precious hours getting set up. Once you get to Glacier Nalu Campground, your glamping tent and bed is already set up and waiting!
Do you like camping…but also like taking a warm shower at the end of a day of adventuring? Like spending time outside…but not using the bathroom outside while hoping no one will see you? Our glamping tents with their included use of our sparkling clean restroom facilities may be just the option for you!
Glamping tents are also a great option for those on a budget, but not wanting to bring all their own camping gear. While a nightly hotel in Juneau can run you around $300-$400 per night, a glamping tent starts at $80 per night.
