Roughing It…In Style? Glamping in Big Sky Country

What's With All The Fancy Camping?

How do you feel about "glamping"? I don't really think I've technically gone glamping. I've gone camping and I've camped in my friend's backyards...but I've never done any camping that you could qualify as glamorous.

Merriam-Webster defines "glamping" as outdoor camping with amenities and comforts (such as beds, electricity, and access to indoor plumbing) not usually used when camping. Sounds fancy. I'm all for sleeping on a bed. I feel special if I have an inflatable pad in my tent whilst camping.

You Can "Glamp" In Montana?

Apparently, there are places in Montana that are well-known for their glamping facilities. One such place is the Paws Up Resort in Greenough. I bet you've heard of them.

Paws Up is a very popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Word on the street is that they have world-class dining, an incredible spa, and a really cool ranch experience for guests.

What I didn't know is that they have six glamping sites. From the river to the trees, they've got what you need.

The Ten Best Glamping Spots

Now, why do we care? Well, Paws Up Resort has the honor of being nominated as one of USA Today's 10 Best Glamping Spots in the country. Support Montana's economy and vote for them here.

I know Montanans aren't keen on outsiders, but you've got to admit, it's great when their money ends up in our pockets. Bringing in swanky tourists means more money being spent in our local mom-and-pop shops. Worth it, if you ask me.
