Little Arrow Outdoor Resort in Townsend voted best in U.S. for glamping

Little Arrow Outdoor Resort in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains features RV sites, cabins and glamping tents. Luxury tents come with heating and air conditioning, plush bedding, private bathrooms, separate living spaces and a small kitchen. All guests enjoy access to a coffee lounge, swimming pool, splash pad, dog park, playground, laundry facilities, basketball court and a community fire pit.

When you combine the words “glamorous” and “camping,” you get “glamping.” This form of travel marries the beauty and simplicity of the great outdoors with the modern amenities and creature comforts of a hotel. While the term has only been around since 2005 (it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2016), the practice of comfortable tent living is nothing new. These 20 glamping resorts offer some of the best locations and amenities in the United States.
