What is glamping, and what’s in the tent?
Glamping is a tent somebody else has already put up, furnished and heated, with a real bed made up inside it. You arrive with a bag rather than a boot…
Choosing between a cabin or glamping stay in Marysville?
You’re not alone – it’s one of the most common questions we get. Both options offer comfort, access to nature, and a relaxed setting, but they deliver a slightly different experience.
If you’re not quite sure which way to go, this guide will help you figure out what suits you best.
Let’s take a look, and if you’re already leaning toward something a bit more unique, you might want to check out our glamping options in Marysville first.
Cabins are a classic for a reason. They offer a full home-away-from-home setup:
If you’re someone who values structure, a bit more privacy, and space to stretch out, a cabin is likely to feel more familiar. The Deluxe Bungalow Cabin is especially popular for couples and solo travellers who like a bit of extra room.
Glamping isn’t just about tents with beds. It’s about atmosphere — sleeping under canvas, hearing the river flow nearby, and still enjoying the comforts of a proper bed, electricity, and heating.
At Marysville Holiday Park, glamping means:
Take the Kookaburra glamping tent for example — it’s nestled right near the river and feels completely secluded. Black Cockatoo offers a more elevated position, while Lyrebird is ideal for those after a touch of romance and quiet.
It really comes down to your style:
| If you value… | Go for a Cabin | Go for Glamping |
| Lockable doors, walls & windows | YES | |
| Indoor cooking facilities | YES | |
| The feeling of sleeping outdoors (but comfy) | YES | |
| A more unique or romantic experience | YES | |
| A kid-friendly option with extra space | YES | |
| Being closer to nature without the fuss | YES |
Both options give you access to all of our park facilities, including camp kitchens, BBQ areas, the games room, and riverside walking tracks.
Still deciding? No stress. Explore both our cabins and glamping tents online, and pick the stay that feels right for you. Whether you go for solid walls or canvas charm, you’ll still wake up to the same beautiful Marysville surrounds.
