Just in time for summer USA Today readers have chimed in to determine the best spots for luxury camping nationwide.

It is camping, but just a little bit more different. Or should we say comcortabel, features many comforts of home in the great outdoors.

Glamping is exactly how you read it: "glamorous camping" according to USA Today, and these sites basically provide a high end luxury camping experience, if there is such a thing. (let's be honest, no matter the luxury, in the middle of the woods you are still bracing the elements somewhat.!)

USA Today readers have chimed in and one New York glamp-site has made their list of 10 Best Glamping Spots For 2023!
