Glamping near Los Angeles offers all the benefits of camping outdoors without giving up those comfortable amenities.

From the fresh air to the clear starry skies, for many Angelenos, spending time in the great outdoors is a welcome reprieve from the congestion, pollution, and hustle-bustle of the city. But for other families, packing up the car, setting up the campsite in the dirt and dust, and maybe even purchasing all of the supplies you need is so much of a hassle that it offsets the joy of the experience. Whether the former or latter describes your family, glamping is the perfect halfway point between roughing it and booking a hotel room. 

The beautiful thing about Southern California is its array of glamping options. The city is bounded by towering mountains, providing an abundance of pine-laden wilderness retreats—drive a little further, and you're in one of the most unique desert landscapes in the world. And, of course, we're famous for our beaches. No matter your preference, there are dozens of opportunities for glamping near Los Angeles. Here are some of our favorites. 

If you're feeling more adventurous and want to transition from glamping to camping, try these SoCal campgrounds with extra entertainment for Kids, or test out tent camping with kids. Explore more outdoor recreational fun in our Hiking and Camping Guide for Los Angeles Families.
