March 2020 marked a special occasion – my significant other's birthday – and what better way to celebrate than with a glamping getaway near Asheville, North Carolina? Our destination: Asheville Glamping, a spot that promised luxury camping beneath the night sky. Here's a glimpse into our unforgettable experience under a full moon.
A Glamping Wonderland
Asheville Glamping offered an array of glamping structures, each more enchanting than the last. At the time we went they had domes, RVs, a treehouse, and a safari tent. We chose the dome, an otherworldly abode that was nestled on top of a small hill. Inside, we found a queen-sized bed, two side tables, a small dining table with chairs, and even a mini-fridge.
Luxuries of Home
One of the glamping perks was the convenience of modern amenities. We had a running toilet and a propane-powered shower at our disposal for only our dome. There was also a group bathroom facility just down the hill. The dome was equipped with both AC and heating, ensuring our comfort regardless of the weather.
The Worm Full Moon
Our visit coincided with the Worm Full Moon, a celestial event that illuminated the night sky. The dome's unique shape and the clear view of the moon made it a mesmerizing experience. We spent hours stargazing, wrapped in blankets inside the dome lounging on the bed, looking out the huge picturesque window.
A Pricey Retreat
It's worth noting that a stay at Asheville Glamping doesn't come cheap. While the experience was undoubtedly memorable, we only went because it was a different type of experience and it was for a birthday celebration. The popularity of the site and its ability to create stunning, social media-worthy moments make it a sought-after destination since we have visited. The prices are way out of price range even for a special event now.
Adventures Beyond the Dome
During our stay, we explored the nearby hiking trails, relishing the natural beauty of the area. Asheville's craft beer scene also beckoned, and we ventured into town to savor some of the finest brews the region had to offer. Asheville is a great place for beer, art, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Simplicity in Decor
The dome's interior was charmingly simple, and while it provided all the basics, we couldn't help but wonder if a few more amenities could have justified the price tag.
Asheville Glamping delivered on its promise of a unique, comfortable, and romantic escape. For those seeking a special occasion getaway, it's a dream come true. However, with the rising demand and associated costs, we've since explored other budget-friendly options. Nevertheless, our night under the Worm Full Moon in the Asheville dome remains etched in our memories as a truly magical experience.
