Wheelchair-Accessible Glamping Picks
Simply put, glamping simply means glamorous camping. And although glamour is sometimes in the eye of the beholder, one thing glamping doesn’t involve is pitching a tent. Glamping could mean staying in an upscale tent, a tent cabin or even a yurt. And although every glamping option is unique, the one thing they all have in common is that they involve sleeping in scenic outdoor settings. Glamping can also be a good option for wheelchair-users and slow walkers — that is, if you pick the right site. So if you enjoy being close to Mother Nature, but don’t fancy sleeping on the ground, then consider one of these wheelchair-accessible glamping picks for your next outdoor adventure.
Mendocino Grove
Perched above the Pacific Ocean in a Northern California redwood grove, this family campground offers several wheelchair-accessible glamping tents. And the bathhouse includes an accessible toilet and a private roll-in shower.
Mariposa
Although AutoCamp Yosemite has some custom designed accessible Airstream trailers, it also offers an accessible glamping tent near the clubhouse. Throw in an accessible bathhouse and a pool lift for the freshwater pool, and you have some very comfy digs.
Guerneville
Like its Yosemite counterpart AutoCamp Russian River offers both accessible Airstreams and glamping tents. The two luxury tents feature extras like a BBQ grill, an ice chest and even and electric blanket. And of course the bathhouse includes roll-in showers.
Parc national d'Oka
Quebec
Located just 35 miles from Montreal, Parc national d’Oka offers an accessible glamping tent complete with an outdoor kitchen. It’s located close to the bathhouse, which is equipped with a roll-in shower. And there’s even an accessible boardwalk near the lakeshore.
Safari West
These two tent cabins are located at the Safari West wildlife park in rural Sonoma County. They both have good views of the giraffe compound, comfy beds and a nicely done bathroom that’s equipped with a roll-in shower.
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park
Located in Umpqua Lighthouse State Park on the rugged Oregon coast, this upscale yurt includes a kitchen and a bathroom with a roll-in shower. And if you want to BBQ, it also has a propane grill. All the comforts of home.
Pinnacles National Park
Last but not least in our roundup of wheelchair accessible glamping picks are the tent cabins at Pinnacles National Park. These 10 units can each sleep up to four and they are all wheelchair-accessible. Add in two Adirondack chairs, an accessible grill and picnic table, and you’re all set to rough it in style.
