Lake Lanier · Georgia

Private campsites & glamping in Cumming, GA

Cumming is the Lake Lanier gateway, the north-Atlanta suburb where the lake starts and the city's weekend begins. The glamping here is one property done well: furnished safari tents on a gated shoreline, with a beach and boat docks on one of the most-visited lakes in America.

This is the easiest Georgia glamping trip to take from Atlanta — under an hour's drive — and the one most shaped by the water. Swimming, boating and fishing are the itinerary; the tent is where you sleep between lake days.
