Texas Campgrounds Highlights Glamping Accommodations

For many years, TexasCampgrounds.com has been the “go-to” travel planning resource for camping and RV trips in Texas, according to a press release. Now there’s another one, TexasGlampingResorts.com, which highlights campgrounds and resorts that offer unique glamping accommodations, from furnished covered wagons, yurts, tipis and safari tents to fully furnished cabins, cottages and vintage RVs.

“Park operators in Texas have been making big investments in more sophisticated glamping accommodations, so we thought it would be helpful to create a new website to help consumers quickly find these unique resorts,” said Brian Schaeffer, executive director and CEO of the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO), which hosts both websites.

TexasGlampingResorts.com has a search function that enables consumers to find glamping resorts by type of accommodation and city. The website also allows glamping parks to post up to 10 photos with their listing, which gives consumers a great idea of what they have to offer.

Popular glamping resorts listed on the site include:

• Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in Burleson: Glamping accommodations at this park include furnished Conestoga wagons, glamping tipis, and cylinder-shaped cabins that are made from actual grain bins. Each grain bin cabin has a spiral staircase leading up to a second story which features a half bath and two cozy bunk beds. The downstairs area has a full kitchen and a full bathroom. This park also has rental cabins that are housed inside a 260-foot-long pirate ship.
