Luxury Glamping Resort in the Poconos Hits the Market for $7 Million – Here’s What You Could Own

 

A luxury glamping resort in the Pocono Mountains, featuring tiny homes and glamptainers, is up for sale at $7M, offering a unique investment opportunity.

A glamping resort in the Pocono Mountains, featuring 40 tiny homes and custom "glamptainers" (fancy lodgings made from shipping containers), is up for sale.

Camptel Poconos, located in Albrightsville, was listed on October 17 for $7 million. The 12-acre property, at 2624 Pennsylvania Highway 534, also has a newly leased restaurant and two to three acres of unused land, according to Dan Emert, a broker at Prime Investment Properties who is handling the sale.

Emert didn’t reveal the owner's name but said the property has multiple partners. The owner also runs Bonaparte USA, a Florida-based company that builds unique tiny homes. Since they focus on manufacturing, they’re hoping to find a buyer with the resources to manage the resort.

The new owner will be able to decide how to use the extra land, which already has utility connections and could fit another 8 to 10 tiny homes or glamptainers. Emert mentioned that instead of more glamptainers, the buyer could add Airstreams, yurts, or other types of lodging, leaving the final vision open for the buyer.

Each tiny home and glamptainer at Camptel Poconos has an outdoor seating area with a fire pit.

The term “glamping” is a mix of "glamorous" and "camping" and offers more comfort than traditional camping.

Before opening the Poconos site, the owner tested the glamptainers in Florida and got great feedback. Camptel Poconos opened in 2021 with a few units and has added more over time.

Currently, 34 of the 40 lodgings at the resort are available for rent, while six are still being finished. Most units are 8 feet wide and 40 feet long, including a bed, living area, bathroom, TV, Wi-Fi, and kitchen with basic appliances. Three of the tiny homes have two bedrooms for larger groups.

Guests also enjoy outdoor areas with fire pits, plus activities like horseshoes, bocce ball, corn hole, and paintball. There’s a gym, sauna, and hot tub set up in separate shipping containers for guests to use.

The resort has an on-site restaurant and bar called "Canteen at Camptel," which recently signed a lease, though Emert didn’t say for how long.
