Glamping vs. Rustic Traditional Tents
Before booking, knowing the difference between glamping and traditional tents is important. Rustic camping often means pitching a tent when you arrive at your campsite. Campers sleep in sleeping bags and search for a bathroom in the middle of the night.
Glamping, on the other hand, blends glamor and convenience with camping.
There’s no need to set up camp when glamping at Point Sebago. The canvas glamping tents are supported by a metal frame and ready for your arrival. Inside, you’ll find a queen bed, comfortable bunk beds for extra guests, and an attached private bathroom with high-quality linens and towels.
Unlike rustic camping, glamping tents include electricity, water, an electric fireplace, and an air conditioner.

History of Glamping Tents
Glamping might be known as “modern camping” but it’s anything but new. The concept of tent camping dates back to 7,500 BCE with the tipis of Native American tribes, designed to endure harsh weather conditions.
By the 6th and 13th centuries, Mongolian empires adopted similar practices to stay warm during their journeys through snow.
Luxury camping, or glamping, became more prominent among royals, military personnel, and for ceremonial purposes in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The 20th century saw glamping gain popularity with British safari expeditions for hunting. The trend then surged in the 21st century when it aligned with the minimalist lifestyle movement.
