Why Is It So Popular?

A decade ago, the term glamping was relatively unheard off - an activity reserved for the eco-warriors, festival-goers and boho hippy types. Over the past few years, and especially throughout the pandemic, this buzz word has swept UK holiday-goers off their feet (and into their glamping lodges). Glamping continues to win over both Brits and tourists alike, especially those who want to embrace outdoor living without foregoing any of our little luxuries.

So what makes us so intrigued by the world of 'glamping'? And just what can Camp site businesses do to ensure they're investment is a success? Camping Cabins has laid out a few key points that will ensure you, your customers and your ROI stays happy, healthy and abundant with bookings! 

Unique Accommodation

Investing in a glamp site, or even re-vamping one with a timber camping cabin, could not come at a better time; you have free creative reign over what kind of accommodation you want to cultivate for your guests - and that accommodation now comes in many forms. The ‘traditional’ glamping buildings such as glamping lodges, bell tents, shepherd’s huts, tipis and yurts remain popular; however we have more recently seen glamp sites exploring a certain eccentricity by offering more quirky accommodation and a unique and unforgettable experience for their guests! Imagine sleeping in a Witch's Hat, snuggling in a Pixie Hut or cooking up a storm in a Scandinavian BBQ. Why settle for the typical and ordinary when you can give your guests a quirky night’s stay that offers the comfort and facilities that would rival many top hotels! 

Luxury On A Budget 

The sharp rise in the cost of living and the drop in the value of the pound against the Euro, has led to a boom in staycation holidays - couples and families alike are far more inclined to spend quality time together in good ol' blighty against the stress and hassle of going abroad. Glamping provides a healthy and effective way to cut costs but still give you that well-deserved break away. If you have a limited budget, many of our Camping Cabins owners offer accommodation options for £65 per night. Alternatively you can allow your guests to splash out and treat them with a luxury glamping break that offers true R&R with the likes of a private hot tub (something that our sister company Hydropool Midlands would be happy to provide), cinema room, BBQ Hut or even on-site Spa. 

Back To Nature

A glamping break gives your guests the chance to re-connect with Mother Nature without going 'feral' or forfeiting certain home comforts. Our unique log cabin buildings and studio lodges allow for your guests to have access to electricity, a bed, en-suite facilities, and a kitchenette. We can also provide you with exceptional washroom facilities if you would prefer to focus on a more rural and simplistic aesthetic. A glamp site with Camping Cabins takes the best parts of camping (gathering around the fire pit and spending quality time with your loved ones) and upgrades it to a more lavish and authentic experience. You can opt for your glamping accommodation to have no electrics or wifi and be lit only by battery-powered lanterns and fairy lights or you can choose your glamp site location to be completely off the beaten track, cooking your meals over an open fire in a BBQ Hut. Glamping is truly an excellent way to soak up the outdoors and revert back to the true, simple way of life.

Glamping Is For Everyone!

Glamping has welcomed a wide variety of people to the great outdoors and been a fantastic gateway for us all discover just how a stay in the outdoors can help us realise the important things in life. Over recent years we have seen the popularity growing for our Camping Cabins to play host to family holidays, weekend breaks with friends, romantic getaways for two or even the individual who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of the everyday. Our fully-insulated timber buildings ensure to bring back those which camping has lost - either to unpleasant weather or an uncomfortable sleepless night. New customers are opening themselves up to the world of glamping and new owners are happy to oblige! Because of this trend, it is safe to say that glamping is not only here to stay, but will undoubtedly continue to grow.
