Stargazing sets the tone for romance and Discovery Parks sets the tone for glamping.
Make time for the great outdoors and each other this Valentine’s Day with a glamping getaway at Discovery Parks.
Want to get close to nature but aren’t a “roughing it” kind of person? Looking for a camping experience without the creepy crawlies? Glamping might just be the perfect holiday option for you! Glamping - “glamourous camping" - is a style of camping that includes the luxuries of hotel accommodation alongside the adventure of outdoor camping.
So, leave the sleeping bag at home and escape to Discovery Parks, we have the high thread count camping option for you – glamping safari tents. Tuck yourself into one of our safari tents for a camping experience with all the comforts of home while enjoying the fresh air and star-gazing from your campsite.
You won’t need to “set up camp”, we’ve done all the heavy lifting. Our open-plan safari tents are elevated off the ground, have a solid floor and accommodate sleeping arrangements for 2 to 6 people with queen bed and single bunk configurations. Amenities include kitchenette with fridge and microwave, ensuite bathroom with shower and toilet, sofa, TV, air-conditioning and deck with outdoor seating and BBQ*
With glamping sites all around Australia, we guarantee you’ll fall in love. Gaze into each other’s eyes while sleeping (almost) under the stars at these locations.
*We recommend checking individual locations before booking your stay for exact accommodation specifications
