A Foot in Both Camps: Luxurious & Green

July 9, 2026

Straddling the intersection of camp and hotel, the 45-tent Nightsky Camps glamping resort is set to open in San Luis Obispo’s El Chorro Regional Park Campground this summer. The Australian designed eco-tents feature vinyl flooring, bedroom furniture, en suite bathrooms, and sliding-glass doors. “It’s about letting nature speak for itself but still feeling comfortable and refined and beautiful on the inside,” says the resort’s cofounder David Smith, noting that the concrete foundation–free structures reduce environmental impact.

Tent doors open to decks with views of Dairy Creek Golf Course, the Santa Lucia Mountains, or some of the Nine Sisters peaks. While wine country, the beach, and downtown San Luis Obispo are all nearby, park amenities invite guests to golf, visit the local botanical garden, and hike Eagle Rock Nature Trail without getting back in the car. Facilities on the Nightsky grounds include a sauna and cold plunge, a movement studio tent, and the all-day Marcerro restaurant for burgers, wraps, and more elevated dishes, like duck confit pappardelle. In the works, Smith says, is a program offering discounts to area residents.
