Glamping is a term that combines glamorous with camping. In other words, it means getting out and enjoying the great outdoors without giving up modern comfort and luxurious amenities. It’s still an adventure, but it’s a more elevated experience.
Whether you’re going on a honeymoon, bringing the family on vacation, or solo backpacking in style, the right glamping essentials will take the experience to a whole new level.
Our experts are here to help you plan your glamping packing list. Join us as we unpack everything you need to know about gearing up for glamping!
Roughing it can be so rewarding and educational. You develop new skills and learn a lot about nature, survival, and yourself. But camping can be leisurely and luxurious, too.
And sometimes glamping just makes more sense, like when you’re traveling with kids or people who don’t spend a lot of time outside. Glamping is a great compromise for those who prefer not to stay at a hotel!
It’s worth noting that you don’t have to choose between roughing it and living the high life. Packing a few glamping essentials is a great way to make traditional camping more comfortable.
Let’s take a look at the glamping must-haves that’ll elevate every moment.
First things first: you’re going to need shelter. Much more than a roof over your head, a glamping tent is a hub where you and the crew can hang out and socialize, unwind from the day’s adventures, or just open the front door and enjoy the fresh breeze and scenery.
Our glamping tents offer the same level of rugged durability as our other canvas tents, but with added amenities like higher walls and spacious interiors, as well as freebies like a back door or window.
Your tent is the most important of all glamping essentials, so don’t skimp on quality when planning your glamping packing list. Fortunately, when you shop with us, you get the highest quality without the inflated prices found elsewhere.
We use Army Duck double-fill canvas, which is the most durable and long-lasting type of canvas out there. Not only will your tent last for many, many adventures to come, but you’ll enjoy its weather resistance and natural insulation. At the same time, the canvas is breathable, so you won’t overheat. Simply put, it’s the perfect material for a glamping tent.
The best part about our glamping tents is that they’re not only for glamping. They’re just as tough as our hunting tents, so they can handle roughing it if you decide to leave your glamping essentials at home.
Whether you need a small 8’ x 10’ tent for yourself and a few glamping must-haves or a huge 16’ x 24’ tent for the whole family, we have plenty of options. We have individual tents and bundles with frames and accessories.

Don’t overlook cold-weather glamping essentials if there’s even the slightest possibility that your campsite could get chilly. Nothing puts a damper on a great trip more than shivering when you should be relaxing.
More importantly, camping in cold weather is extremely dangerous, so a portable wood stove should be at the top of your glamping packing list. We also offer hot tents that are designed specifically for winter camping.
Portable wood stoves can be used inside your tent as long as you follow our tent stove safety guide. Besides keeping you warm and cozy, you can use your stove to prepare hot food. If you really want to get fancy with your cooking, we recommend a camping oven. These glamping essentials can handle pretty much any dish you would make in a home oven.
To ensure that your stove is safe, we strongly recommend getting camp stove accessories like an in-line spark arrestor to prevent ash and sparks from landing on your roof, a stove jack for the pipes, a fireproof mat to go under the stove, and a heat shield to protect the canvas wall closest to the stove. Please read our Tent Stove Information Guide to ensure a safe experience.
Not all glamping must-haves are glamorous! Some of the best glamping essentials work in the background. Tent camping gear, like a fly for weatherproofing, an extended fly for a “porch,” and a vinyl floor for easy cleaning, will make a huge difference in your overall quality of life.
You’re also going to need a frame for your tent. We have bundles that come with the frame, or you can buy a complete frame if you’d prefer to create your own custom setup. Another option is to use one of our angle kits to make a DIY frame with materials that are available at local hardware stores. This DIY approach lets you save a lot of money for glamping essentials.
The final step is to decide how you want to furnish your glamping tent. Your glamping packing list will depend on how and where you’re traveling.
Traditional household furniture like beds, chairs, couches, and tables really take the experience to the next level, but they’re not always practical to bring along. Inflatable mattresses and folding or collapsible furniture occupy less space, and they still let you enjoy an upscale adventure.
Beyond the glamping must-haves, think about ways to make the tent special. For example, you could decorate the walls with tapestries, put rugs on the floor, and bring in ambient lighting. You could even bring a generator and electronics if you want to go all out!
