As a glamping operator – or someone thinking about starting your own glamping business – you might feel like you’re living on an informational island. But you certainly don’t have to go it alone.

There is a plethora of resources available to glamping operators that offer not only invaluable real-world information gathered over the years from your peers, but plenty of up-to-date consumer data on the glamper segments you should be targeting to grow your business.

Certainly not the least important is the annual Glamping Show Americas at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds in Aurora, Colorado. This year, the event is scheduled for September 30 to October 1.

This year’s show already has more than 100 vendors ready to show you every cutting- edge tool you can use to bring in the glampers.

Help With Every Operational Challenge

At this year’s show, you’re going to find acres of outdoor displays showcasing the cutting edge of accommodations. On site will be the very latest in elaborate and quality tents, yurts, cabins, tiny homes, and park models. But this show goes far beyond the traditional.

Maybe a covered wagon would tickle the fancy of your glamping guests. Or perhaps it’s a geodesic dome that your park needs. The innovation at Glamping Show Americas is endless. Your imagination will be set free as you tour free-standing saunas, outstanding landscaping solutions, and all the specialized glamping amenities that your glampers expect. Imagine walking through a cabin that would arrive on your park on the back of a truck, then “unfold” into a finished ready-to-rent accommodation in just a day or two. Glamping Show Americas has it.

The show’s vendor offerings go well beyond accommodations. There will be vendors in attendance to help you with financing questions, management partnerships, reservation systems solutions, furnishings, water features, and even pond dredging.

A World of Opportunities

Glamping Show Americas is also the only industry showcase that includes international vendors with decades of experience outside the U.S. These international companies are able to capitalize on their years of experience in more developed glamping markets in Europe, Australia and other foreign destinations. These are products already proven to work worldwide. It might just make the difference at your glamping operation.

A Place to Learn

Glamping Show Americas is more than a place to showcase the latest product advancements. It’s also where you’ll rub shoulders with industry leaders and fellow operators in a comfortable, affordable and unique environment.

Those attending the Glamping Business Conference during the show will benefit from instruction from glamping experts on unique business operational challenges and marketing; hearing first-hand from successful operators from around the U.S.; unlocking the key amenities every glamping operation needs to succeed. There are also pre-show workshops on Monday, September 29 th that concentrate on funding your glamping business, and glamping business basics. Hurry though.

Data Your Can Use

You’ll also get the first look at the 2025 Glamping Report results, which will be your window into glamping trends that affect your business. This Report goes well beyond what’s available in other reports, providing insights into not just the overall glamping market in North America, but also what’s going on in individual glamping guest segments that are essential to your business’s growth.

The 2024 edition of the Glamping Report found that while overall participation in traditional camping declined from 2023, glamping continued to grow. Glamping travelers continue to take more road trips focused on convenience as they search for their next unique outdoor experience.

For instance, did you know that 98% of your glamping operator peers use social media to drive their business, and 65% of owners offer direct booking? There’s also a trend among owners to own multiple glamping locations, often right at the start of their glamping operations. The Glamping Report data shows the average operator is aiming to open more than 6 new locations with up to 25 structures each.

There’s also a trend to “green” operations, with operators and glampers alike opting for more facilities with solar power, composting toilets and off-grid setups. (Luckily, you’ll find help with all of those challenges from vendors at the Show.
