Best Thanksgiving Vacations 2022: Camping in the U.S.

glamping getaways for thanksgiving weekend

Ready for the best Thanksgiving vacation 2022 can deliver? Thanksgiving has long been a holiday of excess: extravagant meals, uncontrollable spending on Black Friday, and hugely expensive activities; however, it doesn’t have to be that way. The first Thanksgiving, nearly 400 years ago, was a celebration of a good corn harvest by the Pilgrims, to which the Native Americans were invited and brought deer meat to add to the three-day feast.

Modern Thanksgiving could definitely learn a thing or two from this tradition. Perhaps the best way to do this is to plan an escape from modern existence and return to a simpler time. We, at Glamping Hub, feel that the best way to do this is to camp amongst idyllic natural surroundings with good friends and good food. Check out some of our suggestions for a glamping and camping Thanksgiving celebration!

Visitors can enjoy a Joshua Tree National Park Thanksgiving trip, named for the ubiquitous Joshua trees in the park, and consists of striking rock formations and arid desert landscapes. It includes the Barker Dam, which holds a picturesque expanse of crystal-clear water and offers a number of excellent hiking trails in California, perfect for anyone staying in one of these incredible Joshua Tree rentals.
