Budget Glamping in the US: 11 Luxe Retreats for Less Than $200
The call of the wild doesn’t have to mean roughing it. Across the US, there’s a nice selection of glamping sites that range from luxe set-ups for those who want to tip-toe into camping to more remote rustic sites, more suitable for camping aficionados who don’t want to lug a ton of gear with them on an outdoor trip (or have kiddos in tow). These drive-in setups have everything good to go, with facilities such as showers, toilets, and small kitchenettes — some even have separate rooms. From a treehouse-style safari tent in Arkansas’s Ouachita Mountains, a creekside retreat in Northern California to a stargazing tent with a clear ceiling near Utah’s Canyonlands National Park, these are the best glamping Airbnbs in the US under $200 per night.
We hope you love the glamping Airbnbs we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

This beautiful glamping setup is near Mena, the gateway to the Ouachita National Forest. The area is known for its unhurried pace, with trails that wind through the hills and roads that invite road trips. The Little Missouri Falls is a short distance away for a swim, and the Talimena Scenic Drive offers views stretching across the landscape. The tent sits within a private 27-acre spread in the Ouachita Mountains. It’s climate-controlled, and the bed has a memory foam mattress. There’s a small fridge and a coffee maker, enough for the basics, and an outlet for charging devices. Outside, a grill and fire pit means you can cook evening meals under the open sky, and a hammock offers a spot to watch the forest change with the light.
