Hill Country Glamping Guide

There are many wonderful things about camping. It's tough to beat the crackle of a campfire and the sweet, gooey stickiness of s'mores under a starry night sky. And there's not a better lullaby than one sung by a chorus of crickets, frogs, and night birds to help you slip into dreamland.

Glamping, or "glamorous camping," combines everything you love about the outdoors with the creature comforts you love about the indoors. Yes, tent purists may complain that it's bougie, but I'll take bougie over back pain every time. Glamping is all about experiencing the outdoors in comfort — whether you're in a tent, yurt, trailer or cabin, you'll be on a floor that isn't made of dirt. There's electricity to run string lights, charge your phone, and power the air conditioner in the summer and heat in the winter. Best of all? You get to sleep on a bed, not in a bag. And there are pillows to spare.

The Texas Hill Country is famous for its glamping sites. In the pages that follow, you'll find a collection of getaway destinations designed to help you get away from it all — or at least, all the parts you want to get away from. Happy glamping!
