Roamstead Adds New Safari Tents to Its Gatlinburg Outdoor Lodging Experience

GATLINBURG, Tenn., June 5, 2026 – Roamstead is adding new Safari Tents to its Gatlinburg outdoor lodging experience, giving travelers another comfortable way to stay close to the Smoky Mountains without going all-in on traditional camping.

The new Safari Tents join Roamstead’s mix of cabins, lodge rooms, yurts, vintage Airstreams, full hookup RV sites, and tent sites. Together, they give guests more ways to choose the kind of outdoorsy that feels right for them.

Roamstead was built for travelers who want fresh air, mountain days, good coffee, a real place to gather, and a softer landing after time outside. As a boutique campground near Gatlinburg, the brand continues to redefine roughing it with modern outdoor lodging that feels stylish, welcoming, and easy to settle into.

A New Glamping Option Near Gatlinburg

The new Safari Tents give guests another way to experience modern camping near Gatlinburg.

They are furnished like Roamstead’s Yurts with bunks and sleep up to four guests, making them a good fit for small families, friends, and travelers who want a tented stay with more comfort built in.

They still feel close to the outdoors. That is the point. But guests do not need to arrive with every camping trick already figured out. The Safari Tents offer a more approachable way to sleep near nature while still being part of the Roamstead experience.

A little adventurous. A little nostalgic. Very easy to love.

More Ways to Stay Outdoors

Roamstead’s updated accommodation mix gives guests room to choose.

Some travelers want a cabin. Some want a lodge room. Some like the idea of a yurt, a Safari Tent, or a vintage Airstream. RV travelers can settle into full hookup RV sites, while tent campers can still enjoy a classic outdoor stay with Roamstead’s thoughtful campground setting around them.

The details matter, especially when guests are deciding what kind of stay fits their trip. Lodge Rooms include a private bathroom. Yurts do not include a private bathroom, and yurt guests use the communal spa-like bathhouse. The new Safari Tents sleep up to four guests and are furnished like the Yurts with bunks.

That range is part of what makes Roamstead feel different. It is not asking every guest to travel the same way. It gives people options, then makes the outdoors feel more welcoming around them.

Boutique Hotel Comforts, Outdoor Soul

At the center of the Roamstead experience is the Modern Lodge.

It is where slow mornings can start with coffee or a latte. It is where guests can ask for a local adventure idea before heading into the Smoky Mountains. It is where a day outside can end with cocktails, craft beer, and the easy feeling of being back somewhere comfortable.

The property also includes a saltwater pool, spa-like bathhouse spaces, and curated local adventure guides. These details are not there to take the outdoors out of the stay. They are there to make the outdoors easier to enjoy.

Roamstead is a bridge to the outdoors. Guests can hike, explore, swim, rest, gather, or simply do very little for a while. There is no one right way to be outside here.

Welcoming All Wanderers

Roamstead was created for people who want nature to feel accessible.

That includes first-time campers, families, couples, RV travelers, glamping guests, LGBTQ+ travelers, minority travelers, seasoned adventurers, and anyone who feels a little aspirationally outdoorsy.

Guests do not need to prove they are expert campers to belong. They can come for the trails, the pool, the lodge, the fresh air, or the simple pleasure of waking up near the Smokies with a comfortable place to land.

The brand’s approach is inclusive and non-judgmental. It is modern camping with a warm welcome, designed for travelers who want to disconnect to connect in a way that feels natural to them.

A More Comfortable Way to Experience the Smoky Mountains

Gatlinburg remains central to Roamstead’s story.

The location gives travelers easy access to one of the country’s most loved mountain destinations, while the Roamstead property offers a stay that feels cleaner, calmer, and more design-forward than a traditional campground.

The Smoky Mountains bring the views, the trails, and the reason so many guests want to be here in the first place. Roamstead gives them a place to experience it all with more comfort and confidence.

With the addition of Safari Tents, Roamstead continues to grow its outdoor lodging options while staying true to its purpose: making the outdoors feel more welcoming for more people.
