El Capitan Canyon, California
Situated just 20 miles north of Santa Barbara, this premier luxury camping resort unfolds on some 300 acres of pristine Pacific coast-fronted landscapes. Whether you hear the call of the wild on the beach or in the forest, both are easy to answer from El Capitan Canyon, with plentiful activities on hand from kayaking to hiking, and mountain biking to horseback riding. The 26 cream-colored canvas tents here stand on wooden platforms and feature fine touches like hand-woven willow beds, bedside lanterns, and individual outdoor fire pits (for which you can purchase ready-made barbecue kits – complete with s’mores – right through the resort); guests also have the option to bunk down in one of 108 cedar cabins. Summer concerts, massage treatments, and yoga classes demonstrate more of a reason to stick around, but should you wish to venture outside of this natural paradise, wine tasting trips to Santa Barbara are just outside your grassy doorstep. www.elcapitancanyon.com
