Traditional camping isn’t for everyone, so sites like Glamping Hub offer the opportunity to experience the pastime with luxuries like running water and air conditioning.
The online rental website for luxury and unique outdoor accommodation still has a number of locations for last minute getaways during the busy summer camping season. However, you should act quickly, especially if you are planning a Labor Day weekend trip in early September.
“We recommend people who want to leave for a holiday as soon as possible,” said Olivia Grafton, a spokeswoman for Glamping Hub. “Those hoping for last minute travel might be disappointed with limited options in the year”
The website saw a sharp surge in bookings this summer, particularly on Memorial Day weekend and July 4th. Of the nationwide 15,000 advertisements, only 10 percent were available on July 4th. Glamping Hub said booking requests for the vacation were made about four times earlier than normal – about 75 days in advance.
While some of the rentals require a small road trip, there are availabilities in the San Antonio and Austin areas.
Here are some of the glamping rentals that are still available in Texas:
