If you love the concept of camping, but not necessarily all the packing, unpacking, set-up, and living life on roll-up beds or fold-up chairs, then you might be more of a fan of “glamping.” If you really want to get a feel for enjoying the “stars at night” in Texas, if might help if you’re enjoying where you’re staying a whole lot more. That’s why glamping exists. It’s not a new concept, but it’s one that’s taken off like wildfire and is the amalgamation of the words “glamor” and “camping.” Sleep under the stars but in a comfortable bed with the use of electricity and a private bathroom. That being said, Texas has some outstanding natural beauty and some equally outstanding glamping sites from which to view it. Here are three such sites, including the comforts of home. You can book all of these accommodations on GlampingHub.com.

Situated in the high plains desert in Marfa, El Cosmico is a campsite in which you have your choice of glamping accommodations. Tents, teepees, and a Mongolian yurt populate the site, including a vintage trailer. Each large teepee has a queen bed and heated mattress pad, a daybed, and love seat. The Mongolian yurt also comes nicely decorated. They also have wood-fired hot tubs in which to soothe your soul and get comfy for stargazing (which is prime in Marfa) and during the day, you can tool around the city and check out its awesome art scene.
