Less Roughing It. More Enjoying It. That’s What Tentrr Is All About.

Everyone loves to camp and loves the outdoors but let’s be honest. Some of us just don’t want to sleep in a flimsy tent with high winds and freezing temperatures. Or a steaming tent, hot from the sun covered in flies. To make camping more enjoyable for all, glamping was created. Glamping is short for “glamorous camping”. Glamping has the reputation of being completely removed from the outdoors, or that it isn’t real camping. Of course it is not as rugged as traveling out on your own, carrying your shelter and supplies yourself, but it still gets you out into the wilderness, which is the important part. 

Tentrr was founded by Michael D’Agostino, an avid camper. His issue with camping wasn’t that it was too rugged, but that it was hard to find a good place to camp, especially on a busy weekend in the summer. D’Agostino created Tentrr to try to connect local landowners with nature-starved and craved people from the cities. Instead of only relying on public land, D’Agostino created a platform where everyone benefits from sharing beautiful land. Tentrr works as a middle man basically to connect adventurers to private landowners who are interested in sharing their space. Tentrr is essentially Airbnb for finding campsites.

How it Works

With Tentrr, you can camp anyway you like. If your preference is glamping, Tentrr can provide you with fully set up sites where you are ready to adventure as soon as you get outside. These sites all differ but they all come with a tent already built, just awaiting your arrival. 

For the more rugged campers, Tentrr offers backcountry sites where you can have the experience of camping and backpacking, with the beautiful view on private land. You can either bring your own beloved supplies, or Tentrr can provide them for you. Once you’re connected with a secured private location, you can easily book it through their website and be on your way! For many campsites, you also have the option to add extra host adventures and local experiences to your package to make your trip even better. This is of course just an option, but local expertise is always a valuable thing to take into consideration.

Tentrr’s Best Campsites in Colorado 

Colorado is an outdoor adventure lover’s haven. With thousands of locations to choose, camping is a Coloradan’s favorite activity. There is so much to experience in the Rockies and camping, or glamping, gives you access to all of those great adventures. Colorado is home to 11 national forests and 4 national parks. Located in these beautiful forests and parks are some of the best camping, hiking, fishing and mountain biking in the United States. 

One problem with camping in Colorado? Despite the vast number of campsites, urbanites can have a hard time finding one available during the busy summer months. Colorado has a lot to offer but if you are based in Denver, your options are a bit more limited. Despite that, Tentrr offers some really cool campsites in Colorado to help everyone get to the outdoors. Here are the top 5 that we found in Colorado.
