Glamping—short for “glamorous camping”—has taken root along BC’s Sea to Sky corridor, offering travelers luxury without leaving nature behind. From Horseshoe Bay to Pemberton, you’ll find boutique eco-resorts and designer tents that turn rugged landscapes into five-star escapes.

Best Glamping Locations

Boutique spots like Sloquet Hot Springs and Backcountry lodges near Pemberton offer yurt rentals, safari tents, and Indigenous-led experiences with views of glacial rivers and alpine peaks.

History and Natural Setting

The Sea to Sky route, carved through ancient Coast Salish territories, was expanded in the 1960s to connect Vancouver to Whistler and beyond. Once only accessed by loggers and climbers, this corridor is now home to eco-conscious travelers drawn to old-growth forests, granite cliffs, and the promise of starlit skies without sacrificing comfort.

What to Bring

Even in luxury settings, it’s wise to pack:

Layered clothing (mountain temps shift quickly)
Bug spray and sunscreen
Hiking shoes and rain jacket
Snacks and a flashlight
Camera or binoculars

Resorts often provide firewood, linens, cookware, and sometimes even curated chef meals. Most glamping setups have running water and private bathrooms.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family & Dog Friendly?

Yes! Many sites welcome children and leashed pets, offering outdoor games, firepits, and guided nature walks. Always confirm pet policies in advance, and bring biodegradable dog bags.

From ocean breeze to alpine air, high-end glamping on the Sea to Sky Highway transforms camping into an unforgettable luxury adventure. Whether with your kids, partner, or pup, BC’s wilderness just got a little more comfortable.
