The leaves are changing, the weather is FINALLY (fingers crossed) cooling down, and you feel that itch to get outdoors. You want to disconnect from the busy city life and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of nature. Still, you feel hesitant. You know that camping is all fun and games until it’s rainy, cold, or miserable, and you just need a shower. I get it. Traditional camping isn’t for everyone.
That’s where “glamping” comes in. Glamping means “glamour camping”–in other words, camping with the everyday comforts of home like AC/heat, a bathroom, and sometimes even TV and wifi. Rent fully furnished yurts, tipis, treehouses, and cabins for your glamping adventure. Reconnect with nature in luxury and get the bragging rights of saying you (sort of) went camping this fall at the best glamping destinations near Charlotte, NC.

Treehouse Rentals
Cherry Treesort
China Grove, North Carolina
Cherry Treesort invites you to “come stay in the woods” in luxury. These “treesorts” are tree houses nestled high in the trees so you can reconnect with nature while maintaining everyday comforts. This glamping style is my favorite–maybe because it is so creative and fun or maybe because I miss my childhood tree house. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this glamping option so close to Charlotte.
