Rooted in Auburn spirit and family values, Auburn Glamping is a one-of-a-kind retreat designed for families to enjoy the beauty of nature with the comforts of home. Andrew and Laura Riley opened Auburn Glamping in August 2024. The couple are Auburn University alumni who wanted to create a family-friendly retreat near Lake Martin and Auburn. Auburn Glamping features a 36-foot geodesic dome nestled among the trees on 22 acres in Dadeville, Alabama—just 25 minutes from Auburn University and minutes from Lake Martin.

The interior boasts a 22-foot window with stunning seasonal views, a full kitchen and bath, master bedroom, and large loft area. The dome sleeps six comfortably and offers numerous amenities including a Ms. Pac-Man arcade, board games and books, a cozy fireplace, and an outdoor patio with a hot tub, outdoor shower, fire pit, and grill. Designed and built by Andrew with the help of architects Kirt Hilker and Selena Huang and manufactured by Dome Spaces, the dome includes an extra four feet of height for a total of 1,300 square feet—making it quite possibly the largest glamping dome in North America. Laura enjoys curating every detail to ensure guests feel both inspired and at home. Guests can book their stay directly through https://auburnglamping.com or through Airbnb and VRBO, where Auburn Glamping ranks in the top 5% of homes in the area. What began as the Rileys’ dream to share their love of Auburn and the outdoors has become a cherished getaway for families, couples, and friends to reconnect under the stars.
