Luxury Under the Stars: 5 Best Glamping Sites near LA

5 glamping sites near LA for an alternative experience

· 3 min read

When you're looking for a luxurious outdoor adventure, glamping is the perfect solution. With all the comforts of home and none of the hassle, glamping allows you to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the finer things in life. For travelers, glamping is also a unique and relaxing way to explore the destination. If you're looking to have a different Californian experience and escape the hustle and bustle of the city, these glamping sites are sure to provide the perfect retreat.

Most of these camping grounds are not easily accessible if you don’t drive. But you can always get an Uber or Lyft! (Lyft has a limitation of 100 miles per trip, so if you are going from downtown LA, some of these places will be out of range.) Check out our guide for more ways to travel around US without a car.

If your idea of glamping must include tents, cabins, or lofts, then this might not be for you. But if you are open to other forms of accommodation, then why not check out the Caravan Outpost? At the Caravan Outpost, the main form of accommodation is the airstream — so if you are looking for a caravan experience, this would be it! There are 10 caravans, each of them equipped with private bathroom and a functional kitchen, though you will need to bring your own supplies. Each caravan can accommodate up to 4 people. The campsite is unlike the resort-style campsites on this list, and there might not be as many resort-style amenities; but it is located very near the Ojai city, so you can spend the time exploring downtown Ojai or the trails around the area instead.
