Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

If you’ve recently discovered the amazing world of glamping (glamorous camping) you might have some burning questions, such as, “What’s the best glamping tent and why?” To answer this and a few more questions that might be uppermost on your mind, we’ve compiled some frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)  – and, listed the top 10 reasons why Pacific Domes’ award-winning geo-dome tents have long been considered the industry standard when it comes to choosing the best glamping tents. 

Additionally, we’ve integrated some pointers on what to expect and look for in a high-end glamping tent, so you can explore the options and features that geo-dome tents have to offer for yourself.

1) What’s the difference between a geo-dome glamping tent and a camping tent?

To help you choose between a geo-dome glamping tent vs. a camping tent, let’s first, make an honest distinction between the two. This will help you plan where and for how long you intend to use your tent.

• Glamping is, after all, glamorous camping. Travelers can expect that the glampsite will already have a spacious, Zen-like geo-dome tent setup, luxuriously furnished with all the creature comforts of home – most often, with many of the amenities found in resort-style lodging.
• Alternatively, a camping tent is much smaller and less luxurious. You can expect to pack-in your tent-n-gear; and, set up camp each and every time. You can, also, expect to be roughing it a bit.
• While a geo-dome glamping tent is considered light-weight and portable, it’s much heavier in comparison to a camping tent, which is designed for backpacking.
• Geo-dome tents are the strongest and most spacious structures on the market. They are best known for their capacity to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions that Mother Nature frequently unleashes, while you stay comfortable and safe inside.

At the very least, your camping tent adventure can be claustrophobic and uncomfortable if you aren’t prepared for unforeseen situations; such as, inclement weather – not to mention that, it’s a piece of work to set-up camp each time. So, if you’re not into roughing it, you can forget about camping tents – anyone can do tents. 

You want a sturdy, weather-resistant glamping tent that you don’t have to transport, set-up and tear-down everytime you want to get-away and get close to Nature, right? You, also, want to know that you can go there on the spur-of-the-moment without leaving those creature comforts behind, as well. In making the best long-term purchasing decision, you’ll want your investment to pay-off – you’ll want something far more attractive than the basic tent structure.

2) Can geo-dome glamping tents be made permanent?

Yes, although geodesic domes are considered temporary structures, they can be permitted, retrofitted and converted into permanent shelters at any point along your journey. Some of Pacific Domes, clients have lived in their dome homes for well over 20-years.

3) What size structures do you offer?
