Glamping, a luxurious form of camping, has existed since the 19th century and gained popularity during African wildlife safaris. It has now become a global phenomenon, offering travelers a way to enjoy nature while enjoying the comforts of a deluxe hotel without the need for equipment and the hazards of traditional camping.
Are you ready to experience luxury glamping that caters to your big-city sensibilities while exploring real, natural Florida? If so, you should check out the Timberline Glamping Company at Oscar Scherer State Park. It’s an unexpected oasis located just minutes from downtown Sarasota.
Timberline combines luxury camping and the great outdoors, offering spacious and fully furnished canvas Safari tents. These tents are perfect for large families or groups of friends who want to relax comfortably. The Deluxe Safari Tents are spacious and cost $189 per night. They cover an area of 320 square feet and come with a king-size bed and two bunk beds. You’ll find luscious bedding, a Keurig coffee maker, a mini-refrigerator, a ceiling fan, rugs, lamps, electrical outlets to charge your devices, and A/C and heating units. Your Glampsite will include a fire pit, charcoal grill, outdoor string lights, two camp chairs, a large picnic table, and a hammock.
Its location, Oscar Sherer Park, is a valuable Florida preserve home to Bald eagles and Florida scrub jays. In the summer, Lake Osprey attracts anglers and swimmers. With 15 miles of trails, the park provides everyone with solitude, beauty, challenge, and a healthy adventure. It’s also a popular stopover for bicyclists and walkers on the Legacy Trail. And you can’t beat its proximity to all Sarasota has to offer, including its beaches!
