Get Glamping!

The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort offers two different glamping experiences: Shawnee Island Glamping offers a secluded experience on a remote island in the middle of the Delaware River, while Shawnee Riverside Glamping is for those interested in accessing all of the inn’s resort amenities while roughing it in style.

Freelance writer Olivia Fleming chose the Island Glamping option, and writes about it at length on day tripping and weekender site Escape Brooklyn.

A few weekends ago, after rousing from a comfortable queen size bed inside a large canvas tent, I woke up to the smell of bacon, freshly brewed coffee, and a roaring fire. The camp guide, after greeting me good morning, asked if I would like a fresh pastry, some fruit, or perhaps a bottle of water: “Sparkling or still? The eggs will be out shortly.” This was glamping, Pennsylvania-style, where feeling secluded comes with free wifi and pampering happens in the wilderness. — Escape Brooklyn.

Pair your island or river bank glamping stay with a trip on Delaware River on the edge of 70,000 acres of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. You’ll access Shawnee’s private island by a 20-minute canoe ride, or walk to a semi-secuded area of the estate to glamp by the river. Nearby showers, restrooms, WiFi and electricity are included with your stay.

Rent a raft, canoe, or kayak from Shawnee River Trips. Take a fishing trip, a guided river trip, enjoy the magic of a twilight paddle, or take a mountain bike out for a spin along the trails.
