THEN GLAMPING IS PERFECT FOR YOUR ELOPEMENT!

What is glamping and when can I do it in Colorado?

There are plenty of varieties of glamping venues in Colorado for you to choose from! It’s Colorado, so all of the venues are only for summer and early fall glamping. So anytime there’s not a good chance of snow, glamping is possible. Think June, July, August, September! It’s a short season so you have to take advantage of it!

There is a variety of ruffing it in the glamping world! Anything with a bed or elevated cot in a canvas structure (tipi or tent) is considered glamping. There are shared outhouses and private ones attached or not attached to tents. There are also outdoor showers and private showers with hot water and bathtubs. Glamping is on a scale of luxury and it’s different for each couple.

Glamping is perfect for adventurous couples who want to elope! You can get ready at your tent and then venture on the property or to a nearby trailhead to say your vows. And we can go horseback riding, 4x4 road adventuring, canoeing,  hiking, biking, or hot air balloon riding!  the joy of glamping is it's in the midst of everything Mountain Adventure!  You get to wake up to the fresh mountain air well-rested and excited to say your vows.
