Planning a unique trip to the beautiful BC? If you’re looking to get away from it all and explore the great outdoors in style, I’ve got the best glamping in BC list for you.

BC is such a cool and unique place and I’m not surprised that they’ve embraced the concept of glamping a long time ago. The entire province offers a great deal of jaw-dropping natural landscapes with wild mountain ranges, beautiful beaches on the Pacific coast, and some amazing rainforests.

Glamping in BC is ideal for all outdoor enthusiasts who prefer a more luxurious spot to enjoy the natural landscapes of BC. And the province has delivered, with amazing tents, yurts, and other unique glamping spots popping up everywhere around.

Popular destinations for glamping in BC include Kootenay Rockies, Mount Revelstoke National Park, Vancouver Island, the Great Bear Rainforest and many more. 

In the winter BC’s mountain ranges are known for winter activities, such as skiing and dog sledding and BC is a home to over 10 major ski resorts. When snow melts, the visitors can enjoy plenty of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, boating, diving, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, rafting, surfing and more.

Apart from spending time outdoors, you might want to enjoy the city life and visit the magnificent city of Vancouver. Just off the coast of Vancouver there are some amazing surfing and diving opportunities.

Guest review: “Highly recommend staying at the newly built oTENTik tents at Fort Langley. They have 5 of these tents spread across the Fort and for families looking to beat the camping blues, this is just perfect. A fridge, shower facility, BBQ, utensils, campfire with logs provided and even a microwave that you can use from the cafeteria…..its comfort camping in style and the kids loved it. Just get some good insect/mosquito repellents….Camping at such a historical site is in itself an experience.”

Guest review: “We had a great experience at Tin Poppy. Even though it was off the beaten path, it was easy to find with the helpful signage. Our dog loved being able to roam around with a bit of freedom given there were no other people/dogs around. My partner enjoyed the great scenery for photography. I loved the screened in rooms which made you feel like you were outside but had protection from bugs. We will definitely be back.”
