PORTLAND, Ore., June 7, 2023 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping information and booking, has announced the winners of the 2023 Glampy Awards. Now its second year, the Glampys recognize and honor the most unique and innovative glampground destinations throughout the United States.

“Glamping has been increasing in popularity for a few years now,” says Sarah Smith, founder of The Dyrt. “As more people go glamping, more glampgrounds are popping up and existing ones are expanding to meet the demand. What’s beautiful about that is it inspires such creativity and imagination and it results in a wider variety of camping experiences.”
