Twelve Resorts Offering Glamping in Utah

If you love the ambiance and aromas of roasting your dinner over an open fire but don’t enjoy setting up camp and sleeping on the ground, you just might be a candidate for the luxuries of “Glamping.” I am talking about all the luxuries of a first-class hotel placed in the beauties of Utah’s amazing backcountry in some of the most unique accommodations you can imagine.

The concept of glamping had its beginning in 2005 and has spread across the country like wildfire. Utah has been quick to grasp the concept. Today the options for camping in luxury are more creative and numerous than ever. Consider the adventure and fun these places have to offer –
