The resort’s owner came under fire several years ago when he tried to trademark “Last Best Place,” which Montanans have held dear for decades. But there’s little debate that Paws Up was first at something else: glamorous camping, aka “glamping.”
“It’s not just that you’re in a really nice tent…You’ve got activities from shooting guns to riding horses to floating the river, and you come back to the camping experience. Guests just go crazy for it.”
About a year after it opened in 2005, Paws Up added three upscale tents to its lodging options. Like the high-end safari camps in Africa, the spacious canvas tents boasted king-size beds, robes and slippers and gourmet meals – touches you’d expect from a five-star hotel, but all nestled in the pristine wilderness.”
Fox News sat down with the General Manager of Glamping.com and several other glamping site owners to discuss all things glamping.

oops-your article is great but has a major inaccuracy. Mary Jane Butters coined the term glamping. She was the first one to use the word in publications etc. She also opened the first glamping camp in the United states in 2004 – not Paws up, who started renting out glamping tents (for $1,500 a night 😮 ) in 2005. 🙂
