Camping in Style

Forget pitching a tent, and leave that lumpy sleeping bag at home: These seven glam campsites allow travelers to embrace their inner Thoreau — without actually roughing it.

El Capitan Canyon

SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA


Perched on the rocky coast just north of Santa Barbara, this nature resort offers all manner of creature comforts, including 26 spacious safari tents with queen-size willow beds and electric lamps, plus bathhouses with hot showers. Feel like exploring? Take a dip in the Pacific, hike the 300-acre property's wooded trails, or practice your downward dog at morning yoga class. When hunger strikes, the resort will even deliver barbecue kits, complete with the fixings for burgers or s'mores, straight to your tent flap. ($155 per double; elcapitancanyon.com)



Dunton Hot Springs

DOLORES, COLORADO


Experience the Wild West in your own private tepee at this luxurious resort and spa in a restored ghost town. You can hike or mountain bike in the San Juan Mountains, fish for trout in the Dolores River, or explore the surrounding countryside on horseback. Family-style meals, which feature local wines and organic produce, get under way at long communal tables in the dining hall. Come nightfall, plunge into your private natural hot spring for a soak under the stars. ($200 per person, private bathhouse, gourmet meals, mountain bikes, and complimentary bottle of local wine included; 970-882-4800)



Huckleberry Tent & Breakfast

CLARK FORK, IDAHO


With just three tents on 52 acres, peace, quiet, and some of the starriest skies imaginable are all but guaranteed at this wilderness retreat in the Cabinet Mountains. The tents feature quilt-covered iron beds, wood-burning stoves, and covered porches. Fishing, hiking, and wild-berry-picking opportunities abound, and the owners, who live nearby, welcome guests who want to feed their chickens, gather eggs, or harvest vegetables from the garden to prepare back at the campsite. ($115 a night per double, full breakfast included; huckleberrytentandbreakfast.com)
