Eight years ago, glamping was still a relatively unfamiliar concept across much of the Southeast. Traditional camping and luxury travel operated in separate lanes, and few experiences attempted to bridge the two. Travelers who loved the outdoors often faced a choice between rustic simplicity and resort-style comfort, with little space between.

For 2026, The Fields of Michigan is entering a new phase. The South Haven property, part of the Outdoor Collection by Under Canvas, is adding 26 new upscale tents, bringing its total to 45 tents and cottages. It is also expanding its communal spaces, extending its culinary program, and adding a new retail and provisions offering.

Wellness travel has shifted in setting as much as in style. For years, restoration was largely associated with enclosed environments such as softly lit treatment rooms, controlled temperatures, and scheduled sessions. Those spaces offered comfort and predictability.
