This Is the Best Glamping Destination in North…

Travelers who like the idea of camping—but not necessarily sleeping on the ground—have a new top-ranked destination to consider for 2026. Named the top glamping campground in the 2026 Campspot Awards, Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay was named the best thanks to its waterfront setting, upscale accommodations, and resort-style atmosphere near Delaware’s best beach towns.

The annual rankings spotlight camping destinations across the United States and Canada, from laid-back family campgrounds to upscale glamping resorts. Winners were selected using more than 3.3 million data points, including guest reviews, booking trends, amenities, and overall traveler popularity. Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay’s win also reflects just how far the glamping category has expanded, with many of today’s top-ranked properties looking and functioning more like waterfront resorts than traditional campgrounds.

Formerly known as Massey’s Landing, Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay sits along the waterfront in Millsboro, Delaware, and feels closer to a coastal resort than a traditional campground. While tent sites and RV stays are still part of the mix, many travelers come specifically for the glamping accommodations, which include rustic-chic canvas tents complete with two queen beds, a full-size futon, a coffee table, and a dresser. Each tent also comes with its own furnished porch and fire pit, allowing guests to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing many comforts. For those seeking an even more elevated escape, or extra space, multi-bedroom waterfront cottages are also available.

The property also leans heavily on resort-style amenities increasingly associated with modern glamping. Guests can spend the day soaking up the sun at the private beach, enjoying drinks from the swim-up pool bar, paddleboarding on the bay, or listening to live music at the aptly named Paradise Landing Tiki Bar before retreating to their accommodations at night. There’s also a family-friendly splash zone, golf cart rentals, a crabbing pier, and an arcade, reinforcing the property’s broad appeal for both couples and families alike.

Part of the property’s draw is also its location. Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay sits within easy reach of both Rehoboth Beach and Lewes—two of Delaware’s most popular summer vacation destinations—making it easy to bounce between beach towns, boardwalks, and the coastline while still returning to a quieter waterfront setting at the end of the day. One logistic to be aware of though, the resort is only open seasonally from April through October—right in line with the peak beach season—so travelers planning summer stays will likely want to book well in advance.
