Plan the ultimate glamping getaway this summer

And hit the road in style.

Making the most of summer in California means traveling up and down the coast, winding through the mountains, and exploring landscapes across the Southwest. What was once a mega trend but is now just a really really neat way to travel, glamping allows us to explore these gorgeous landscapes in the midst of modern luxury, comfort, and visual delight. Truly the best of both worlds! In honor of the glamping adventure, we have a complete guide to the ultimate summer getaway, complete with the most pristine, stylish, and ahhhh-inducing glamping spots, plus a few favorite boutique hotels to stop in along the California coast, for those nights in between that beg an indoor stay. See our road trip essentials at the bottom of this post as well!
