Seasonal Camping and Glamping at Blue Mountain Resort

Opening on Sunday, May 1 through October

Blue Mountain offers both camping and glamping scenarios. Outdoor mountain lovers and camping enthusiasts can bring their own gear and “rough it” a little bit at the resort’s basic glamping sites located in the valley portion of the mountain where they park their car nearby or at the site depending on which site they choose – woody shady site or sunny prairie site. Basic glamping includes 10 x 12-foot canvas tent, bunk beds with full-sized mattresses, a solar light, wooden deck with Adirondack chairs, picnic table, Coleman cooler and more. Deluxe glamping sites provide the comforts of home while glampers reconnect with nature at the Summit portion of the mountain at a site that delivers big mountain views or seclusion in the woods. Very special amenities include queen-sized bunk beds, a charging station, solar shower, fire ring with a grate and more, and food packages can be ordered and delivered from Slopeside Pub & Grill. Perfect for families and pets.
