Glamping & Cabins: What to Expect & What to Pack

Dreaming of a rustic escape with a touch of luxury? Glamping and cabin getaways in Alberta are the perfect way to experience the great outdoors—without giving up modern comforts. Whether you’re planning a romantic retreat or a family adventure, knowing what to expect and how to pack will set you up for a stress-free, memorable stay.

What Is Glamping?

Glamping, short for “glamorous camping,” blends the best of nature with the comforts of a boutique hotel. At Pinnacle Lifestyles, our glamping sites and cabins offer cozy interiors, real beds, heating, and even kitchenettes—so you can relax in style after a day of hiking or stargazing.

What to Expect at Pinnacle Lifestyles Cabins?

When you book a cabin in Alberta with Pinnacle Lifestyles, you’re stepping into a thoughtfully designed space tailored for comfort and adventure:

• Fully furnished cabins or glamping tents with beds, linens, and seating areas

• Private outdoor spaces with fire pits or decks

• Kitchenettes or BBQ grills (varies by location)

• Modern washrooms nearby or inside the cabin

• Stunning natural surroundings, from forest trails to lakeside views

You get all the serenity of nature, without roughing it.

What to Pack for Your Glamping or Cabin Trip?

Packing for glamping is a bit different from traditional camping. You won’t need a tent or sleeping bag, but you’ll still want to come prepared for outdoor fun and cozy nights.

Clothing

• Weather-appropriate layers (Alberta evenings can get chilly)

• Comfortable hiking or walking shoes

• Rain jacket or waterproof gear

• Lounge wear for evenings by the fire

Personal Items

• Toiletries (some cabins may offer basics, but it’s best to bring your own)

• Sunscreen and bug spray

• Reusable water bottle

• Flashlight or headlamp (even if you’re not “roughing it,” they’re handy)

Optional Comforts

• Favorite snacks or beverages

• A good book or journal

• Binoculars for wildlife watching

• Board games or cards for evenings indoors

Tech (Optional)

• Power bank for charging on-the-go
