Natural beauty is the top priority for choosing a camping destination. Creature comforts guild the lilies. We’ve gathered a collection of camping spots around the world, curated for beauty by the BN Team. With extreme drama, some are set high in the mountains, some on pristine beaches, some in thick jungles, some on wild savannahs.

You might stay in a canvas yurt or a canvas covered wagon, or perhaps a hut or a wooden cabana… regardless of their forms, each camp on our list offers over-the-top luxury albeit within a rustic framework.

They typically come outfitted with proper beds sporting fine cotton sheets and down duvets, full bathrooms with hot showers, and solar power. Some have handcrafted furniture, small kitchens, and decks. The cozy insides are beautiful in their own rights.

See the 10 most beautiful remote glamping spots on our bucket list below.
