Want the beauty of the Rockies without roughing it? I totally get that—I love waking up to mountain views, but I also like a real bed and a hot shower. These dreamy Colorado glamping spots give you the best of both worlds. I’ve found places where you can sip coffee under the pines, stargaze from your deck, and still have cozy linens and heated blankets waiting inside.

Here Are Some of My Favorite Glamping Experiences:

  • Stay in safari tents near Rocky Mountain National Park – I watched the stars from my deck and woke up to elk bugling nearby. It felt wild, but I still had a plush bed and a private bathroom. Win-win.
  • Unwind in yurts and cabins tucked into the San Juan Mountains – I’ve curled up with a book and a mountain view more than once here. You’ll love the peace and quiet.
  • Enjoy creekside domes and firepits in Buena Vista and Salida – I’ve stayed in a dome right next to the river, and there’s nothing like falling asleep to the sound of flowing water.
  • Experience upscale touches at dude ranch resorts – Some of these places offer full-on glamping setups with spa perks, meals, and horseback rides. I always feel totally spoiled.
  • Sleep under the stars in luxe canvas tents near Colorado Springs or Aspen – I’ve done this for a weekend escape and left feeling refreshed, rested, and totally in love with the scenery.
