Situated on 175 verdant acres in the Columbia River Gorge, Skamania Lodge (@skamanialodge) has been a leading destination for weddings, as well as honeymoons and pre-wedding getaways, since it opened in 1993. Recently, the lodge expanded its offerings with the luxurious Tree House Village and a new event space, the Moonlight Pavilion. Now, Skamania takes camping to the highest level of luxury with its newly opened glamping experience. Luxurious safari-style tents are tucked in among Skamania’s forest of Douglas fir trees, offering elegance-seeking nature lovers the opportunity to commune with the outdoors—without compromising luxury and comfort. “The glamping experience allows guests to unwind in nature while enjoying the unparalleled amenities and services synonymous with Skamania Lodge,” says Jack Hansen, director of sales and marketing at Skamania Lodge.
The spacious tents offer a serene retreat with a plush sleeping area featuring 300-thread-count sheets, a separate bathing tent with a full-size bathtub and shower, a coffee and hot chocolate bar, and a private outdoor firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. In addition, guests can count on all the usual hotel accoutrements—and then some: cozy hooded robes, lawn and board games, s’more fixings, flashlights, and a basket filled with goodies such as snacks, beverages, Pendleton blankets, warm socks, hats and more. And though you are among the forest’s flora and fauna, the glamping tents are within walking distance of the Skamania trailhead and lodge, making it easy to indulge in everything the lodge has to offer, from its spa to a gourmet meal in the Cascade Dining Room or River Rock Lounge.
