8 of the Best Spots for Glamping in Florida

Not everyone that enjoys the outdoors wants to spend their night on uneven ground in flimsy tents, which is why Glamping was invented. Glamping is short for glamorous camping, as it offers you all the best camping parts without any inconveniences. 

Glamping has become incredibly popular among vacationers in recent years due to its comforting and relaxing atmosphere. You can seek out adventure and enjoy the marvels of nature without sacrificing the things you are used to. 

Many retreats and resorts in Florida provide visitors with the best luxurious amenities while still letting them immerse themselves in nature. These are some of the best spots for Glamping in Florida.

The entire campsite is powered by solar power. A single tent is powered by three solar panels and a battery system. The tents are installed on a ground tarp with a crushed sea-shell pad to deter bugs and for drainage.

Amenities

When we mention a memory foam queen-sized bed with a cooling pad and memory foam pillows topped with the softest linens, camping is not the first thing to come to mind. However, it is exactly what Glamping is, and all that is included in each tent at Comfy Camping Glamping.

If you rent a 20 ft bell tent, expect two memory foam queen beds. By the bed are two nightstands, and the tents are decorated with stylish tinted glass chandeliers, comfy throw rugs, safety equipment, and large coolers.

Enjoy warm nights by the metal fire ring included in the campsite under the starry sky while exploring Alafia River State Park in the mornings.
