Glamping & Unique Lodging

Glamping and unique lodging businesses provide upscale outdoor accommodations - luxury safari tents, yurts, treehouses, tiny homes, or unique structures combining nature with comfort and amenities.

You create Instagram-worthy experiential stays.

Glamping units rent from $150-$500 per night.

Operating 5-15 units at 40-70% occupancy generates $150,000-$800,000 annually with 40-60% margins.

Target clients include millennials seeking experiences, couples wanting romantic getaways, families wanting outdoor adventure with comfort, Instagram and social media enthusiasts, nature lovers avoiding traditional camping, and destination travelers.

Services include unique accommodation units, outdoor experiences and amenities, on-site activities or adventure access, continental breakfast or meal options, campfire and gathering spaces, and potentially spa or wellness offerings.

Success requires scenic desirable location, creating photogenic unique structures, understanding outdoor hospitality, marketing visual experiences on social media, potentially zoning and land use approvals, and balancing nature with comfort and amenities.

Many glamping operators start with 3-5 units and expand, focus on specific themes (safari, bohemian, treehouse), offer add-on experiences (yoga, massages, adventures), market heavily on Instagram and social media, potentially operate seasonally in some climates, and charge premium for unique experiential lodging attracting social media-savvy guests willing to pay for memorable stays.
