What Is Glamping? A Guide to Luxury Camping in Jackson Hole

If you love the idea of getting close to nature but cringe at the thought of sleeping on the ground or roughing it without a bathroom, glamping might be exactly what you’re looking for. Short for “glamorous camping,” glamping is the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and indoor comfort. And here in Jackson Hole, it’s one of the most unforgettable ways to experience the Tetons.

Glamping has grown in popularity because it offers a rare balance: adventure and ease. Travelers can hike all day, then come back to a real mattress and hot shower. Families can introduce kids to the outdoors without worrying about pitching tents. Couples can enjoy the romance of a campfire—followed by the luxury of a temperature controlled dome.

Whether you're new to the term or exploring your first glamping trip, this guide will walk you through what glamping really means, what makes it different from traditional camping or hotels—and why Tammah Jackson Hole is one of the best places to try it.

What Is Glamping?

Glamping combines the experience of sleeping in nature with the kind of amenities you’d expect from a boutique hotel. Think: real beds, private bathrooms, temperature controlled domes, electricity, and designer details—all tucked into a unique structure like a geodesic dome, safari tent, or yurt.

It’s all the best parts of camping—starry skies, crackling campfires, mountain air—without the sleeping bags, crowded campsites, or shared bathrooms.

Why Choose Glamping?

People choose glamping for different reasons, but here are a few of the biggest perks:

  • Comfort: Sleep in a real bed. Enjoy a hot shower. Charge your phone. Enough said.
  • Convenience: No need to pack camping gear or navigate tricky setups—everything’s ready when you arrive.
  • Connection to Nature: Wake up to birdsong, watch wildlife roam, and stargaze from your deck—all without sacrificing comfort.
  • Unique Experience: Glamping turns your stay into something special. You’re not just booking a room; you’re creating a memory.

Glamping in Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Jackson Hole is one of the best places in the country for glamping. The region is rich in wildlife, scenic trails, and wide-open skies.

Rather than staying in a standard hotel, glamping offers a deeper, more immersive experience—without giving up the luxuries you love. Whether you're hiking by day or enjoying local food and music in town, glamping gives you a private retreat to return to when the adventure winds down.

Glamping Packing List:

  • Layered clothing – Weather in the Tetons can shift quickly. Bring lightweight layers, a warm jacket, and comfy clothes for lounging in your dome.
  • Hiking shoes or boots – Perfect for exploring nearby trails in Grand Teton National Park.
  • Reusable water bottle – Stay hydrated on the trail or while relaxing at camp.
  • Headlamp or flashlight – Even though our domes have lighting, it’s always handy to have your own for evening walks or stargazing.
  • Camera or smartphone – You’ll want to capture the mountain views and night skies.
  • Daypack or backpack – Ideal for day trips into the parks.
  • Books, journals, or games – Unplugging is part of the magic of glamping. Bring something to enjoy during slow mornings or peaceful evenings.

And if you're bringing your pup (yes, we’re pet-friendly!), don’t forget the essentials: leash, bowls, treats, and a cozy blanket for them to curl up on in your dome.
