Glamping Goes Country: Luxury Campgrounds With Rustic Ranch Appeal

Last updated:

Let’s face it, our lives need more adventure as day to day can get to be a grind. Well, this can work! Get ready to escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary as glamping destinations across America lean into their rustic ranch roots. These elevated outdoor experiences combine the charm of country living with luxury amenities that appeal to your soul — and your (Taylor Sheridan) aesthetic.

When Rustic Meets Luxe

Imagine waking up in a plush king bed as golden sunlight filters through canvas walls, the scent of fresh pine and wildflowers drifting through the air. Outside your tent, a day of authentic country experiences awaits — from horseback riding across open meadows to sipping small-batch bourbons under an impossibly vast sky. As evening falls, gather around a meticulously designed fire pit, wrapped in a handcrafted blanket while sharing stories under the stars.

This isn’t your grandparents’ camping trip — it’s the art of embracing country living without sacrificing comfort.

We’ve rounded up a few destinations worth documenting:

Under Canvas

Locations near national parks offer safari-style tents with actual furniture, plush bedding, and en-suite bathrooms. Their locations near Great Smoky Mountains and Zion capture that perfect balance of wilderness and comfort.

The Resort at Paws Up

This resort in Montana elevates ranch living with homes and luxury tents featuring rainfall showers, copper soaking tubs, and personal butlers. Morning yoga sessions and afternoon fly fishing create the perfect country retreat.

Westgate River Ranch Resort

Located in Florida, this resort serves authentic rodeo culture alongside glamping accommodations. Learn to lasso by day and relax in your private teepee with air conditioning and a personal concierge by night.

Sandy Valley Ranch

Get genuine cowboy experiences while you stay in vintage Conestoga wagons or luxury tents. Their working ranch activities let you live out your country dreams in Nevada.

What your Wild Heart can expect to find:

  • Authentic experiences that connect you to simpler ways of living
  • Spaces that feel both aspirational and grounding
  • Opportunities to unplug while still having access to that perfect content moment
  • Sustainable luxury that respects and celebrates rural landscapes
  • The perfect group getaway or a romantic rendezvous for two

Bring That Adventurous Energy

Let’s be honest — there’s something undeniably appealing about sliding into knee-high boots and a vintage denim jacket, wandering through wildflower meadows with your hair catching the golden hour light. These glamping experiences give you permission to embody that country aesthetic authentically, without the pretense.

The Wild Hearted Take

These rustic-luxe getaways offer something increasingly rare: a chance to slow down, disconnect from urban chaos, and reconnect with a pace of life that feels refreshingly human. They provide an escape that’s both nostalgic and thoroughly modern — and we can’t think of anything more Wild Hearted than that!

Stay Wild. Stay Under The Stars. Stay Country.
