Photo courtesy of Shawnee Inn and Golf ResortShawnee Inn and Golf Resort offers two glamping sites: Shawnee Riverside and Shawnee Island.  With views of the Delaware River, Shawnee Riverside glamping offers guests scenic views, electricity, WiFi, men’s and women’s restrooms, and access to lockers and other amenities at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort.  The Riverside glamp-site is on the resort’s lawn, so guests can easily use the inn’s facilities. The weekend rate (Friday and Saturday) for Shawnee Riverside Glamping is $248 per night (two-person occupancy).
Located on an island on the Delaware River and accessible by canoe, Shawnee’s Island glamping is designed for glampers interested in a remote camping experience, so guests get limited access to the mainland. The island campsite includes four tents with shared men’s and women’s showers and restrooms. The camp also includes electricity, WiFi, and a camp attendant. Island Glamping rates are usually about $324 per night with two people in the tent. The Island tent is available Thursdays through Sundays.

W Hotel’s new New York glamping suite on the Extreme Wow Suite terrace exemplifies this modern take on glamping through its Extreme Wow Outdoor Glamping Suite. Designed by Laurel & Wolf, the site features a 12-foot yurt surrounded with cozy seating areas and decorated with brightly colored fabrics. A city-safe fire pit and lanterns add to the ambiance of this non-traditional take on glamping. Rates for the outdoor glamping suite start at $2,000 per night. It’s available until November.
