glamorous Camping arrives to the smoky mountains- 

Glamping is glamorous camping. It’s where nature meets luxury. Today’s discerning travelers crave experiences; not just trips. These visitors are more than tourists; they are wanderers who are interested in stepping off the beaten path, walking away from superficial tourist activities, and embracing an immersive environment. This style of travel is enriching and leaves an impression that lasts much longer than a vacation or a long weekend. Nestled against the Great Smoky Mountains, scenic Douglas Lake encompasses 550 miles of shoreline and covers over 30,000 acres. The lake is filled with secluded coves and hollows; and is surrounded by rolling farmland and mountain foothills. This idyllic environment creates the perfect setting for Waterscape, a luxurious glamping resort. 

Waterscape LUXURIOUS CAMPING

Guests sleep restfully among the trees as silhouettes of leaves dance on the tent walls. Nature meets luxury in our furnished tents, which are outfitted with full utilities, en suite bathroom, ceiling fan, electric lighting, and wood floors. A private covered deck with comfortable outdoor seating provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or afternoon reading. Tent furnishings include plush king bed, writer’s desk & chair, luxury bed & bath linens, locked storage, small refrigerator, and outdoor seating.
