The Ultimate Guide to Glamping in Wisconsin

If you’re looking for a unique way to experience the great outdoors while enjoying the comforts of modern living, glamping offers just that. From rustic cabins to yurts, glamping combines the best of both worlds: nature and comfort. Here’s everything you need to know about what glamping camping entails, where to go glamping in Northern Wisconsin, and how to make the most of your glamping adventure.

What’s Glamping?

Glamping—short for “glamorous camping”—is a modern twist on traditional camping that focuses on providing a luxurious experience in nature. It combines outdoor activities with the comforts of home, offering amenities like comfortable beds, electricity, and even cooking facilities.

Why Go Glamping?

For those who love the idea of camping but aren’t fond of roughing it, glamping is the answer. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking for an escape from daily life. You get to enjoy all the joys of being outdoors—campfires, fresh air, wildlife—without having to set up a tent or sleep on the ground. Glamping makes the experience more accessible, especially for first-time campers, honeymooners, or those who just want to be a bit more pampered during their stay.

What to Bring Glamping

Although glamping accommodations are often well-equipped, bringing a few personal items can enhance your experience. Consider packing:

• Comfortable clothing for both outdoor activities and relaxation.
• Personal blankets and pillows if you prefer your own.
• Snacks and favorite foods for a cozy night in.
• Outdoor gear like hiking boots or binoculars for wildlife watching.

How to Glamp: Tips for a Great Experience

Glamping is all about enjoying nature without sacrificing comfort. Here are a few tips to make the most of your glamping trip.

• Unplug and Relax. Use your glamping stay as an opportunity to disconnect from daily stress and enjoy the tranquility of nature.
• Explore New Activities. If you’re staying at Wildman’s Peshtigo River Outpost, try out the guided trips and adventure packages available. It’s a great way to add some adrenaline to an otherwise calm getaway. We guarantee you’ll sleep even better after an exciting whitewater rafting, kayaking, or Stand Up Paddleboard trip!
• Exploring The Surroundings: Whether you’re whitewater rafting at Wildman Adventure Resort or kayaking on a nearby lake, make sure to take full advantage of the area’s offerings. Wildman Guests have private access to riverside hiking and great fishing along the Peshtigo River. You can also check out the local waterfalls of Marinette County, A.K.A the Waterfalls Capital of Wisconsin!
• Campfires & Stargazing: Gather around a fire pit with family or friends and enjoy a night under the stars. The Peshtigo River Outpost boasts near-total darkness at night, making for AMAZING stargazing. We don’t think planning your trip around the new moon is that crazy, we promise!

Here’s a closer look at the glamping accommodations we offer:

Our favorite part is the built-in skylight. It’s perfect for star-gazing from bed, or watching the autumn leaves rustle and fall overhead if you’re staying for a weekend of leaf-peeping!

Boulder Creek Tiny House:

Ideal for a romantic getaway or a honeymoon, the Boulder Creek Tiny House is the newest glamping cabin at Wildman. This unique glamping stay is perched atop a giant boulder, with a queen bed in the loft upstairs, meaning you’ll have incredible views of the Northwoods forest canopy from bed.

Downstairs, enjoy a couch and a breakfast bar looking out into the forest. This really is one of the best romantic glamping stays in Wisconsin. You’ve got all the basics. Now disconnect from distractions and reconnect with the folks you care about most. What we love most about this cabin (besides the fantastic treetop view from bed) is that it’s nestled into birch and aspens that offer shade in the summer give a breathtaking color-changing performance in fall.
