Glamping Coming To East Hampton: 'Luxury Under The Stars'

EAST HAMPTON, NY — Here's camping with an upscale twist: Luxury or glamour camping, or "glamping," will make its grand debut at Cedar Point County Park in East Hampton this Memorial Day weekend.

Terra Glamping, a Brooklyn-based full-service glamping and event production company that pioneered the high-end form of outdoor recreation on the East Coast, has launched an "expansive site" overlooking Gardiners Bay — offering an array of luxury amenities that will make soggy tents and uncomfortable sleeping bags just a memory.

The company was selected by the Suffolk County Parks Department, who publicly issued a request for proposals with the goal of introducing new ventures that would attract more campers to Cedar Point, according to a release.

Reservations can now be made online for Terra Glamping: East Hampton, which will host guests beginning Friday May 24 through the last weekend of October.

“The outdoor adventure meets modern luxury aesthetic of glamping is an ideal fit for East Hampton and we’re thrilled to be the first company to offer this new option for seasonal getaways to area vacationers and residents alike,” said Terra Glamping co-founder and CEO Rebecca Martin. “Cedar Point County Park is a picturesque location with lush forests and miles of coastline, an ideal setting for the Terra Glamping experience.”

Best known for its previous seasonal glamping hotels in the Catskills and the Rockaways, as well as pop-up events in New York City and beyond, Terra Glamping: East Hampton will feature 30 fully furnished, "beautifully designed" sleeping tents with one to two queen-sized beds and 6' decks with seating and views of the water; two lounge tents with couches, books and board games; a dining tent; bathroom and shower facilities; a fully stocked grilling area; a fire pit; and additional outdoor furnishings including hammocks.

Forget stale rations stored in a backpack: Glampers will begin their mornings with a continental breakfast of fresh coffee, fine teas, local pastries, fruit, yogurt, and homemade granola, the release said. And, in an homage to tradition, guests can gather around the campfire and enjoy a gourmet s'mores bar every night.

In addition, the glamping experience will include an array of programming throughout the summer such as sunrise yoga, live music, movie nights, wellness festivals, and farm-to-table dinners with guest chefs. Kayaks and stand-up paddle boards will also be available for guests to take out on Gardiners Bay.

“There is something for everyone to enjoy this summer as glamping is coming to Cedar Point County Park in East Hampton,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. “This latest camping trend allows residents and visitors alike to enjoy an outdoor adventure with luxury amenities at one of our many stunning county parks.”

In addition to family-friendly summer getaways, Terra Glamping: East Hampton is available to book for private events, corporate retreats, weddings, photoshoots, product launches and more. The Cedar Point County Park location is a 10-minute drive from the heart of East Hampton.

Terra Glamping Fort Tilden is located in Cedar Point County Park at 5 Cedar Point Road in East Hampton. Open to the public beginning Friday May 24, the glamping resort will operate daily through Labor Day, Monday September 2, and then weekends only until October 27.
