Our Favorite Southeast Glamping Destinations

Before we dive in, it's worth noting that there's no official definition for the southeast region. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the seven states most definitely considered to be the Southeast are:

• Alabama
• Mississippi
• Florida
• Georgia
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Tennessee

So that is where we started. Then, we sought out glamping spots that offered multiple accommodations, making it a true destination for a large group or a getaway from a wedding or family reunion. We also narrowed this list by seeking smaller or local family-run glamping retreats!

There are many more glamping places in the Southeast to explore, and we highly recommend you peruse sites like Airbnb or HipCamp for yourself – but these are some of our favorites!

A 13-mile canoe journey brings you to an island-like peninsula surrounded by cypress trees. While these three treehouses lean more into rustic-style glamping, and you must pack and transport your gear and food, it's a special experience for campers who love paddling into remote sites. Choose between a small, medium, and large treehouse constructed from natural and local materials and with amazing river views.

Communal Areas + Activities

Guests have the option of staying for additional overnights, but you need to be self-sufficient, cook your own meals, and entertain yourself with dominoes and playing cards.
