behrPORTLAND, OR - The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping with the most active online camping community, has announced the creation of the first awards program to recognize and celebrate the top glamping destinations throughout the United States. And, of course, it could only be called The Glampys.

The Dyrt presents The Glampy Awards, an award program for glampgrounds.

"New glampsites are popping up all the time," says The Dyrt CEO Kevin Long. "Private land owners are looking for ways to generate income by making their unique corner of the world available to people looking for once-in-a-lifetime outdoors experiences. We thought The Glampys would be a great way to shine a light on these amazing places."

Glamping can take many forms — yurts, cabins, vintage trailers, tiny houses, fire towers, even restored train cars — all of which can fill up quickly these days. Rather than create some sort of aspirational list, eligibility for The Glampys was limited to glampgrounds showing 2022 availability on The Dyrt under $200/night. (The Dyrt offers commission-free bookings for campgrounds.)

Some of the factors considered when determining the winners of The Glampys include uniqueness (fancy with flair), Instagramability (you gotta see it to believe it), and bookability (inclusive, not exclusive). Without further ado, we present the 2022 winners of The Glampys!
