For those who prefer glamping to camping, a destination in Maine ranks among the best in the U.S., according to Vogue.

The publication recently released a list of the 20 best glamping resorts in America and included Under Canvas Acadia in Surry, Maine. Glamping is glamorous camping noted for its luxurious amenities in the wild.

The Montana-based adventure-hospitality company opened the glamping location in 2020 near Acadia National Park. Travelers who stay there enjoy “glamping accommodations inspired by the African safari experience that provide a bridge to the outdoors, allowing guests to be immersed in nature in luxury and style,” according to the company.

Here’s what Vogue wrote about Under Canvas Acadia:

Since its first camp opened in 2012 and subsequent expansion, Under Canvas has been the gold standard for glamping across the states. The brand’s outpost in Maine’s Acadia National Park is particularly of note thanks to its 100 acres of waterfront property and tents designed with king-size beds, wood-burning stoves, and ensuite bathrooms with hot showers.

The Under Canvas Acadia glampground is about 35 minutes from Acadia National Park, which stretches for nearly 50,000 acres along the Atlantic coastline in Maine and offers 27 miles of historic motor roads, 45 miles of carriage roads, and 158 miles of hiking trails.

For those who enjoy hiking when they camp, earlier this year Conde Nast Traveler named an Acadia National Park hike one of the best in the U.S.: the Beehive Loop Trail.
