What to Pack for a Glamping Weekend in North Texas

Glamping means you get to leave the tent pegs and sleeping bags at home. At All Is Well Resort in Saint Jo, Texas, you’ll have a king bed, your own bathroom and a private hot tub waiting for you. Even so, a few smart choices in your bag will make your weekend even better. Here’s our packing list.

For the hot tub

  • Swimsuits. Pack two if you plan on a few soaks a day. Most guests do.
  • Slip-on sandals or slides for getting from the hot tub back inside.
  • A cosy robe or hoodie for cooler evenings on the deck.

For the trails

  • Comfortable, closed-toe shoes. We have more than 60 acres of woods, trails and creeks, and some of the ground by the ridgelines is uneven.
  • A reusable water bottle, especially in the warmer months.
  • Sunscreen and bug spray. This is the Texas countryside, after all.

For stargazing

  • Layers. Even in warmer months, North Texas nights can cool off, and winter evenings get properly chilly.
  • A headlamp or small flashlight, ideally with a red-light setting to protect your night vision.
  • Binoculars if you have them. They’re surprisingly good for picking out star clusters and the moon’s craters.
  • A star-map app, downloaded before you arrive.

For slowing down

  • A good book you’ve been meaning to read
  • A deck of cards or a two-player game
  • A journal, if that’s your thing
  • A speaker for quiet music on the deck (and a respectful volume)

For special occasions

Celebrating an anniversary, a birthday or maybe planning a proposal? Pack the card, the candles or the ring. Then leave the cooking to us by booking a private chef to serve dinner on your deck.

What to leave at home

  • Pets. Sadly, pets aren’t allowed at All Is Well.
  • Cigarettes. Smoking isn’t allowed inside any of our stays.
  • Your to-do list. Many of our guests never leave the resort, and that’s exactly the point.
