Glamping in Portland – frequently asked questions

You have questions about backyard glamping in Portland, and we have answers!

The Basics

What is City Lights Glamping? 

City Lights Glamping provides a one-of-a-kind glamping experience in your own backyard. Simply book an experience and we take care of the rest! 

How do I reserve a City Lights Glamping experience? 

It’s easy! Just visit our Book Now page, select your desired package and add-ons, choose your preferred dates, and book!  

Will my backyard be able to accommodate a City Lights Glamping tent? 

You will need a relatively flat and even surface for the tent. Grass is preferred, but other natural surfaces will work. The area should be free of rocks, stumps, large sticks, and other materials that may puncture the floor of the tent. We discourage choosing an area under tree branches. 

How big is a City Lights Glamping tent? 

The tent needs an area with a diameter of about 24 feet.  

How many people can fit in the City Lights Glamping tent? 

The Queen bed comfortably accommodates two, while the Twin beds each accommodate one. That’s a maximum of 4 people in beds. If you don’t mind getting cozy and sleeping on the floor of the tent, you can certainly accommodate additional adults and little ones in the tent! 

Set Up & Take Down

Will you set the tent up on my deck/patio/driveway? 

For stability and safety, it is best for the tent to be staked into a natural surface (e.g., grass, mulch, soil, etc.). We may be able to set up on decks, patios, driveways, and other non-natural surfaces. Please contact us to discuss your project. 

What will I furnish, and what will City Lights Glamping furnish? 

We provide everything that is needed for a comfortable glamping experience. Please view the Book Now page to learn more about our various City Lights Glamping packages.  

How does set up/take down work? 

All you have to do is show us where to set up, and we’ll take care of the rest. A team of friendly City Lights Glamping employees will bring everything to you. We’ll arrive and ring the doorbell–unless otherwise specifically requested, we won’t set up without your permission. You show us the place you would like the tent set up, and we’ll take care of the rest. Set up takes less than one hour.

We’ll come back to take things down on the day the reservation ends. Again, we’ll request your permission before entering your property, unless you’ve specifically requested something different. Take down usually takes around 30 minutes, and we try to leave your yard the way we found it.

Set up will occur between the hours of 4 PM and 6 PM on the day your reservation begins. Take down will occur between the hours of 10 AM and 12 PM on the day your reservation ends. 

How much does delivery cost? 

We will provide a custom quote for your Delivery & setup depending on the location of the glamping site.
