I’ve become obsessed with glamping in Washington state ever since I tried it in Oregon. We stayed at the cutest vintage trailer resort and it got me hooked on finding cool places for that camping-not-camping vibe closer to home.
Since then I’ve stayed at tiny homes and treehouses in Washington, plus saved dozens more trailers, yurts, etc. So if you’re looking to go glamping in Washington state, check out these places for your next trip!

Best Glamping in Washington State
If you’re not familiar with the term “glamping”, it’s a play on merging “glamorous” and “camping” into one word. Essentially it means there are rustic elements as if you’re camping, but with creature comforts like a bed, cleanliness, electricity, and running water. Basically, my kind of camping!
Here are the best Washington glamping spots for when you want to dip your toe into camping without fully committing.
Tiny House Village
link to book | 20752 Chiwawa Loop Rd (Leavenworth, WA) | price: $175+/night | pet friendly
I go to Leavenworth at least twice a year on family trips and to update my guide to the best Leavenworth restaurants. One of the best places I’ve found in this Bavarian-themed town about 2.5 hours east of Seattle is the Tiny House Village.
I first discovered them when cross-country skiing with my family. We were on a trail that passed these brightly-colored tiny homes and I announced, “I must stay in one of these.” Luckily I got my wish a few years later when we needed a place to stay after hunting for larches.
The Tiny House Village is part of the Thousand Trails RV Resort and has 5 homes to choose from:
I stayed in Rudolf, the aptly named red tiny house. This was one of my first forays into glamping in Washington state and is what ultimately got me hooked. It was super clean, had a normal-functioning bathroom, AC, a full kitchen, electricity, wifi, cable, and a comfy bed. Plus there were fire pits, grills, and Adirondack chairs outside perfect for taking in the beautiful scenery.
The Rolling Huts
link to book | 18381 State Rte 20 (Winthrop, WA) | price: $185+/night | pet friendly
The Rolling Huts was another spot I passed while skiing in Winthrop, which has the largest groom trailed system in North America and therefore the best cross-country skiing in Washington.
These midcentury modern cabins have huge windows overlooking the Methow Valley. They have a lot of creature comforts like a fridge, microwave, dishes/plates, and fireplace, but they’re also a bit more rustic since they don’t have bathrooms.
Instead you can use the normal bathrooms in the barn or use the portable toilet and faucet outside each hut. There are also only sleeping mats on platforms, so this is a good spot for glamping in WA if you want to try your hand at a bit more camping-like ambiance.
The Sou’wester Lodge
link to book | 3728 J Place (Seaview, WA) | price: $120+/night | pet friendly
Sou’wester Lodge is on the southwest corner of Washington state near Long Beach, perfectly located for exploring the Oregon coast. This glamping spot has a ton of accommodation options, including cabins, lodges, vintage trailers, RV parking spots, and camping grounds.
But the real draw is the quirky features on the property. For example, they refurbished a school bus into a movie theater. They reimagined trailers into a vintage shop, workspace, art gallery, and tea nook. You’ll even find a geometric dome perfect for yoga and a Finnish cedar sauna. So while they have rustic accommodations, they have a ton of creature comforts for a memorable stay.
Treehouse Place
link to book | 6922 Preston-Fall City Rd NE (Snohomish, WA) | price: $315+/night | no pets
Treehouse Place is a truly the perfect glamping destination if you need a romantic getaway. The treehouses feel like they’re high in the sky, but they’re actually only a few feet off the ground built into the hill on posts. Each has a kitchen, memory foam mattress, HD TV, and fireplace. This one has a gorgeous soaking tub and two stories that offer incredible views of the forest
Lothlorien Woods
link to book | White Salmon, WA | price: $185+/night | pet friendly
I absolutely love visiting the Columbia River Gorge, and this little number is making me want to plan another trip stat.
Lothlorien Woods has an 18-sided yurt made out of materials harvested from the property. Inside you’ll find a full bathroom, and outside you get a teakwood hot tub on a private deck perfect for viewing the wild turkeys often seen roaming the property. The hot tub is the perfect respite if you decide to do some hiking or skiing at Mt. Hood about an hour away in Oregon.
Stormking Cabins
link to book | 37311 WA-706 (Ashford, WA) | price: $260+/night | no pets
Stormking Cabins is perfectly located near all the best hikes at Mount Rainier National Park. After a long day exerting yourself on the trails, you can come back to a cozy cabin outfitted with its own hot tub and spa bathroom. After washing off the sweat from the day you can enjoy a beer and dinner in the outdoor grilling area right next to your glamping site.
Pacific Northwest Yurt
link to book | Vashon Island, WA | price: $150+/night | no kids or pets
If you want an almost-camping experience, this yurt is it. There’s no running water or electricity, not even an outdoor shower, so you need to bring most things with you and take it out as if you were camping in the woods.
However, the yurt is super bright, airy, and clean. Plus it’s right on the Puget Sound and perfectly located for exploring all the best things to do on Vashon Island, including my favorite Vashon restaurants!
Wharfside Bed & Breakfast
link to book | 204 Front St (Friday Harbor, WA) | price: $175+/night | no pets
No, your eyes aren’t failing: you can stay on a boat! This bed and breakfast on San Juan Island is located in a boat right in Friday Harbor, where you’ll arrive on the ferry. It has two rooms on opposite sides of the boat with private bathrooms and a ton of vintage charm. And since you’re so close to the ferry it’s perfectly located for a quick day trip to the nearby Lopez Island.
The Little Red Caboose
link to book | Greenwater, WA | price: $200+/night | no pets
You haven’t gone glamping in Washington state until you’ve stayed in a train caboose. This stunner has a jacuzzi with jazzy lighting and a built-in sound system just outside under a covered cabana. Or you can choose to unwind around your bonfire or grill while strumming the provided guitar.
The best part? It’s perfectly located near all the best things to do in Tacoma, Washington, such as the Tacoma restaurants in the Lakewood neighborhood perfect for a food crawl.
Or you can drive a little north to explore the things to do in Olympia, our state capital. It’s near Millersylvania State Park, home to another tented glamping spot called Pampered Wilderness.
Lakedale Resort Glamping Tents
link to book | 4313 Roche Harbor Rd (San Juan Island, WA) | price: $70+/night | no pets
Lakedale Resort is nestled in the woods on San Juan Island. The resort has cabins, but the real draw is the safari-style tents open April through October. Only a few of them have fully-operational bathrooms, but all of them have luxe furnishings to trick your mind into thinking you’re at a high-end hotel. You even get complimentary breakfast and water bottle delivery every night to keep your feet warm!
I love visiting San Juan Island from Seattle for a day trip, but stay the night so you can check out this fun glamping experience in Washington state!
Glamping Retreat
link to book | Whidbey Island, WA | price: $239+/night | no children or pets
If you need another of many reasons to visit Whidbey Island, this spot to glamp in Washington state has two beautiful safari tents on a huge property with all the makings of a great time. You’ll find yard games, a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and tiki bar spread throughout a beautiful yard. It’s also near some of the best Whidbey restaurants and best wineries on Whidbey Island, but you may never want to leave!
The tents have posh decor with a queen-sized bed, board games, linens, and plush pillows. And while the tents aren’t outfitted with a bathroom, you’ll find a shabby chic outhouse regularly cleaned to share with the other tent.
Forest House
link to book | Orcas Island, WA | price: $250+/night | pet friendly
The Forest House is nestled in the woods on Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands about 2.5 hours north of Seattle. it feels as if you’re an extra in Fern Gully as you meander along the bridges connecting different areas of the treehouse.
You’ll find a reading nook and bedroom in a tower, plus a kitchen, living space, and bathroom in the main treehouse. Everything is custom and made with wood, and you’ll find a dope sunken tub that feels fit for a spa. You’d never know you’re glamping in Washington state in this one!
Peace Vans
link to book | price: ~$1350 for 6 nights | no pets
If you want the freedom to go glamping in Washington state wherever the wind takes you, rent a van! One option is Peace Vans, which has vintage-looking vans you can take out for the week.
Each van comes with everything you could think of: cooking equipment, spices, fridge, multiple tents, corkscrews, and even your choice of coffee brewing method!
Cabana Vans
link to book | price: ~$240+/night | pet friendly
Another option for car camping is Cabana Vans. These are more modern than Peace Vans and have a bathroom that lasts up to 7 days before needing to be emptied. There’s a memory foam bed, TV, heater, and Caffe Vita coffee, one of the best coffee roasters in Seattle.
One difference from Peace Vans is that you need to pay extra for amenities like a grill and kitchen equipment to cook. So if you want to cook for yourself each night, make sure to add it on!
