Hotels and resorts constantly come up with new amenities and activities to make sure family travelers are comfortable and entertained. These three hotels go above and beyond to bring luxurious glamping experiences to kids during their stay.

 

Thompson Sleepovers at Thompson San Antonio – Riverwalk
Thompson San Antonio – Riverwalk recently introduced Thompson Sleepovers, offering guests 10 and under a one-of-a-kind glamping experience. The room will be set up with an in-room tent featuring plush bedding, fairy lights, themed decorations and a delicious midnight snack pack. Thompson Sleepovers can be added to any room renovation and are perfect for creating lifelong memories for the youngest of guests.

 

Camp Long Creek at Big Cedar Lodge
Guests staying at family-friendly wilderness resort Big Cedar Lodge can book the overnight Camp Long Creek experience located just minutes away from the property. The experience combines all the fun of camping with the comfort and luxury of a resort. With the backdrop of Table Rock Lake, guests can kick back and relax in one of the camp’s unique accommodations, shepherd huts, camp cabins or glamping tents. Book the Family Glamping Tent which features a cozy kids tent, a private courtyard, outdoor tub and more. Spend your days fishing on the lake or trying out a new watersport.

 

Big Cypress Lodge
Enjoy a rustic nature retreat in downtown Memphis at Big Cypress Lodge. Taking “city glamping” to a whole new level, the fun-filled activities include exploring the 535,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shop featuring Cypress Swamp, home to fish and alligators. Guests can also play a frame at the underwater-themed bowling alley, see who has the best aim at the archery range or travel up the Sky High Ride for a one-of-a-kind dinner.
