Improve Your Mental Health With A Glamping Getaway

Let's be honest, the past few years have had a disastrous impact upon the physical and mental health of many (if not all) of us. A lot of things have been called into question throughout and post-pandemic; we've been provoked to reassess our priorities and start to focus on the simple things in life that make us happy. This change can be seen in the huge increase in businesses and people alike taking mental health more seriously; whether it be a 4 day working week or taking up meditation to start our days - we're all trying to do our bit. Another thing added to that list is the phenomenal spike in Brits heading out for a stay-cation at Glamp sites across the UK. Camping out in the middle of nowhere, where the fresh air is plentiful and you are surrounded by beautiful views, is proven to be good for your soul and mental health.

A Global Pandemic, economic crisis and extreme weather conditions have all caused their fair share of problems for hoteliers up and down the country - including glamping site owners. Serious drops in occupancy and demand make this industry one of the most competitive in the country, and it can be hard to break out onto the scene and make yourself known. However, it's become clear that throughout this storm there are one group that have managed to come out on top; those that continued to invest in digital marketing. They have been able to successfully drive direct bookings through a combination of bold branding, a fully functional website and easy-to-use booking engine. To help you drive more direct bookings, here are four things to consider:

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.

Today's fast pace of life means that it can be more than difficult for families to spend much-needed quality time together; they rely on holidays abroad to create some exciting family memories - but with the ever-rising cost of living meaning that foreign holidays are seeing a huge dip in interest, a stay-cation is the next best thing. With the help of Camping Cabins Timber Buildings and Studio Lodges, you can ensure your glamp site is a glowing beacon for families to share an experience together with an extra special feeling. Being immersed in the outdoors, with fresh air and activities on your doorstep, allows for both kids and parents to re-connect with nature. Additionally, having the comfort and luxury of their own, unique space that they can relax in after a long day means glamping is the perfect family gathering!

Our most asked question from our Camping Cabins owners is how do you look after your BBQ Hut once it’s been installed? In particular, what do you use to treat your cabin to keep it looking as lovely as the day it arrived?

Our Camping Cabins - Timber Buildings Rooted in Culture, Spirit and Pioneering Times. 

It’s become clear that the stay-cation boom cultivated throughout the pandemic is here to stay; in the next year we expect to re-connect with nature and the environment even more, no matter how that may look to you - camping, gardening, hiking, BBQs, hot tubs, garden rooms or log cabins. Sometimes overlooked due to their typically ‘rustic’ appearance, our camping cabins are the perfect escape to the countryside. But, did you know that each and every one of our huts give a nod to the times of the pioneers?
