From providing luxury glamping for large-scale music festivals across the country (pitching over 7,000 tents a season) to operating our permanent glamping site at the Gorge Amphitheatre, this professional-level course helps aspiring business owners bypass costly trial-and-error, secure reliable vendor relationships, and successfully launch a profitable outdoor hospitality business.

Who Should Take the Glamping Business Blueprint Course? (Landowners, Hosts, & Aspiring Entrepreneurs)
We’ve carefully designed this course to be customizable to your unique business.

To be profitable in this industry you’ll need a proven formula + your creativity.

Already own property, a farmstay, or land? Learn how to seamlessly integrate heavy-duty bell tents into your existing setup to instantly command higher nightly rates than traditional guest rooms.

If your glampsite is currently just an idea or you are starting from absolute scratch, this course walks you through the entire foundation—from land selection and local zoning research to structural setups for Airbnbs, farmstays, and overnight workshops.

If you love the outdoors and want to build a flexible, part-time seasonal accommodation business, the scalable frameworks inside the course make even a side hustle a profitable, high-ROI investment.
Why Spend Time and Money on a Course?
It’s a business-hack, plain and simple. If you could learn in about 15 hours what it took the industry experts 10 years to learn, why would you say no to that? Taking a course with a market-researched, market-tested formula will save you YEARS and THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in mistakes, which means you are making a profit faster (and with a lot less frustration!). It’s a no brainer.
Now is not the time to dabble and figure it out. It’s not the time to DIY your business from a blog post. It’s time to get after it. The Glamping Business Blueprint will guide you step-by-step to set up a hospitality business that’s as small or scalable as you want to make it.
