Glamping Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2021-2031

The Global Glamping Market is projected to experience significant expansion, growing from USD 3.95 Billion in 2025 to USD 7.24 Billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.63%. Glamping, defined as upscale camping that blends nature immersion with hotel-grade amenities like electricity, climate control, and luxury furnishings, is driven by a consumer preference for experiential travel that maintains comfort. This growth is further fueled by a post-pandemic shift toward domestic, wellness-focused vacations and the increasing availability of unique structures like treehouses and geodesic domes. Data from the Outdoor Hospitality Industry indicates that in 2024, 34% of new campers identified specifically as glampers, reflecting a strong influx of new customers into the sector.

Despite this growth, the market encounters significant hurdles due to complex zoning and regulatory environments. Many regions lack specific land-use classifications for semi-permanent glamping structures, forcing developers to navigate vague and often restrictive permitting procedures. These regulatory ambiguities create high barriers to entry, causing operational delays and increased compliance costs that hinder the rapid scalability of new projects in desirable remote areas.

Market Drivers

The rise of wellness and mindfulness retreats acts as a primary catalyst for the glamping market, as travelers increasingly prioritize mental restoration through "slow travel" experiences. These consumers seek to disconnect from digital stressors without the physical discomfort of traditional camping, prompting operators to design therapeutic environments featuring amenities like private yoga decks and forest bathing areas. This trend is supported by Campspot’s '2024 Camping Trends Outlook' from January 2024, which noted that 93% of campers felt more mentally refreshed after camping compared to other vacation types, highlighting glamping's strong position in the wellness tourism economy.

Simultaneously, rising disposable income among Millennial and Gen Z populations is sustaining high-value market growth. These demographics are shifting away from standard hotels in favor of unique, "Instagrammable" accommodations like geodesic domes and treehouses that offer both comfort and experience. Their spending power drives premium bookings, encouraging developers to upgrade infrastructure. According to the June 2024 'North American Camping & Outdoor Hospitality Report' by Kampgrounds of America, nearly half of first-time glampers were millennials, with 37% earning over $100,000 annually. Additionally, The Dyrt reported in 2025 that 81.1 million Americans camped in 2024, providing a vast pool of potential luxury outdoor hospitality clients.

Market Challenges

Complex zoning and regulatory frameworks create a formidable barrier to entry for the global glamping market, restricting new inventory supply despite growing demand. Because many local jurisdictions have not updated land-use codes to accommodate semi-permanent structures like safari tents or geodesic domes, developers frequently face ambiguous and restrictive permitting processes. This regulatory uncertainty leads to indefinite operational delays and inflated compliance costs, discouraging investment and stalling the scalability of developments in prime remote locations.

This regulatory bottleneck prevents the industry from fully capitalizing on the influx of new consumers, as the inability to secure permits swiftly forces many potential entrants to abandon viable projects. The high attrition rate among new ventures severely limits the sector's physical expansion. As reported in the 2024 Glamping Show Americas State of the Industry Report, 43% of prospective glamping operators had to halt their development plans specifically due to insurmountable regulatory and zoning challenges, underscoring the extent to which legal impediments are stifling industry growth.

Market Trends

Major hospitality chains and hotel brands are strategically entering the sector, introducing institutional standards to a previously fragmented market. Global corporations are forming alliances with established outdoor operators to provide seamless booking experiences that appeal to mainstream luxury travelers. This integration validates the glamping model while lowering barriers for consumers who value loyalty rewards and service reliability. For example, Hilton’s February 2024 partnership with AutoCamp made premium outdoor properties available to over 180 million Hilton Honors members, demonstrating the scale at which major brands are capitalizing on outdoor hospitality demand.

In parallel, a surge in agritourism and luxury farm-stay developments is creating a key market sub-segment where agricultural sites monetize underutilized land through high-end accommodations. This "farm-to-tent" trend meets consumer demand for rural engagement and culinary experiences without sacrificing comfort, while providing landowners with revenue diversification. Pitchup.com’s '2025 Outdoor Travel Trend Report' from December 2024 highlighted this shift, recording 443,000 searches for farm-based campgrounds in 2024, indicating a substantial change in traveler intent toward agriculturally focused stays.
