Glamping is about enjoying the outdoors without giving up the comfort of home, and when planning your next escape, having the right glamping camping setup makes all the difference. These glamping ideas will help turn your campsite into a cozy retreat, whether with the family or going solo. From camping cot pads to lighting tricks, this guide is packed with inspiration to create your dream oversized glamping camping setup.
Check out 10 simple yet amazing glamping ideas DIY campers swear by to make the outdoors feel like home.
Comfort starts with your sleeping setup. Throw out the deflating air mattress and inferior camping cots, and settle for a sturdy bed cot like our 3-in-1 Disc-O-Bed®. It is easy to set up, supports between 500 (227 kg) and 600 lbs (272 kg) per cot, and can be stacked as a bunk, used as two single cots, or effortlessly transformed into a sitting bench. Want it to feel extra luxurious? Add cozy sheets, blankets, and a plush camping cot pad like our Disc-O-Bed Disc-Pad. These layers create a warm and comfortable environment.
Cold tent or cabin floors are uncomfortable to walk on in the morning. Bring small rugs or foam floor tiles to soften your space and provide a warm walking area. It also helps your tent feel more like your bedroom, perfect for that glamping feel.
Glamping is not just about sleeping—it is about rejuvenating. Set up a lounge area with our Disc-O-Bed bench setup, a side table, and comfy pillows. If you want to upgrade your comfort, our Disc-O-Bed Disc-Chair Outfitter features a sturdy frame and plush seat—perfect for relaxing with a book or a warm drink.
Lights turn any tent into a retreat. Battery-powered string lights or solar lanterns create a warm, inviting glow at night. Wrap them across the tent ceiling, or along the doorway. You will instantly elevate your glamping setup with just a few fairy lights.
Nothing boosts your day like a good cup of coffee in the morning. Bring a French Press/Coffee Plunger, along with a Gas kettle. Add your favorite mug and some creamer, and suddenly your campsite has become a cozy cafe in the woods.
Part of what makes glamping special is staying neat without sacrificing style. Instead of plastic bins, use woven baskets or canvas totes to store clothes, snacks, and toiletries. They add personality to your space and keep your things off the floor.
Pair this with our additional Disc-O-Bed Side Organizer, especially when using our Disc-O-Bed; it’s perfect for keeping your flashlight, water bottle, or book within easy reach.
Disc-O-Bed Accessories add character to your space and keep your things organized.
You do not need to rough it to enjoy the wild outdoors. Our Disc-O-Bed Mosquito Net is a smart addition to your glamping ideas DIY list. Our Disc-O-Bed Mosquito Net and Frame ensure enough elevated clearance for airflow and bug protection underneath. Staying comfortable and bite-free makes your glamping experience more enjoyable.
Kids love the glamping adventure. Add fairy lights, colorful sleeping bags, or glow-in-the-dark stars inside the tent or cabin. Create a “bunk zone” using our Disc-O-Bed Kid-O-Bunk®—it gives kids their private space and makes bedtime exciting.
A few simple details can turn your campsite into a cozy home away from home. Think about your theme: is it rustic, boho, or chic? Bring matching throws, cushions, and a framed photo. This is your chance to personalize your glamping space and make your tent a peaceful escape.
Glamping is not just a summer activity. You can make your setup work year-round with a little planning and preparation. In summer, use rechargeable fans, sunshades, and breathable bedding. Bring insulated sleeping bags, thermal liners, and wool socks during cool months. The ideal glamping camping setup changes with the weather, so you stay cozy no matter the season.
There are many ways to upgrade your campsite, but choosing the right sleeping system is essential. Our Disc-O-Bed is made for glampers who want comfort without compromise. Its modular design, no-tool setup, and extra-wide cot surface are perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers. You can bunk it, use it as 2 single cots, or turn it into a sitting bench.
With the right foundation, your glamping ideas will come to life effortlessly.
