From Business Insider: See inside Margaritaville’s new Lodge hotel, where a deluxe room goes for up to $500 a night and comes with a separate ‘glamping’ room
If you don’t have a RV but still want to experience the great outdoors at Camp Margaritaville Pigeon Forge, why not stay in a hotel room that looks like a “glamping” tent instead? At least you’ll still have air conditioning, a comfortable mattress, and a Keurig coffee maker.
Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Lodge Pigeon Forge in Tennessee celebrated its grand opening in September as the Jimmy Buffett-branded hospitality giant continues to expand its RV resorts arm.
Camp Margaritaville may be known for its fully equipped RV parks with amenities like playgrounds, multiple pools, and bars (it is Margaritaville after all) …
… but you don’t have to be a #VanLifer or Class A RV owner to visit the new 35-acre Camp Margaritaville in hot tourist destination Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Margaritaville currently operates three RV parks all with non-RV accommodations like tiny cabins and “glamping” cottages.
But Pigeon Forge stands out with the Lodge, a large hotel with a colorful and paradoxically tropical mountainside cabin aesthetic.
Inside, there are the traditional one to two-bed rooms.
But so far, guests have been loving the “deluxe room,” which combines elements of luxury camping with a traditional hotel stay for about $160 to $500-per-night. The 500 to 570-square-foot deluxe room can sleep up to six people.
