Glamping breaks offer a convenient and comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing on home comforts. They combine the simplicity and joy of camping with the luxury of cozy accommodation, making them an ideal choice for a short break.

What Does Glamping Mean?

If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life or reconnect with nature, glamping provides a middle ground that appeals to those who want a taste of adventure without compromising on comfort, hence the name coming from "glamorous camping".

Unlike traditional camping in a tent, you enjoy your glamping getaway in luxury, with comfortable beds, electricity, and often well-equipped shower and kitchen facilities. Glamping makes it easy to enjoy the great outdoors and create lasting memories without the hassles of traditional camping.

You could be staying in a shepherd's hut, a hobbit hut or even a yurt. Whichever it is, your accommodation will be more substantial (and warmer!) than a canvas tent.

Why Choose Glamping?

So why choose a glamping experience over a hotel stay? There are lots of reasons why you should consider glamping. We've already touched on the fact that it's a more luxurious experience than normal camping but there's also these reasons too:

  • Connect with nature: Time spent out in nature is never wasted time. It can help you switch off from busy daily lives and work stresses. Imagine gazing at the stars as you sit by the fire in the evening and waking up to bird song in the morning, bliss!
  • Learn something new: Knowing how to light a fire, isn't a skill we use all that often! Can you live without wi-fi? Get back to basics and live the simple life, if just for a day or two, you'll learn new skills and probably learn things about yourself along the way.
  • Experience the unique: Each glamping experience is unique. Thanks to the time of year and the weather, you'll have a different experience every time.

Hot Tub Glamping Near Me

As glamping becomes more and more popular for a short break, you don't have to travel too far to find a relaxing glamping experience.

Because part of the attraction of glamping is that it gives you the chance to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and spend time in nature, most of these experiences are set in rural locations.

Glamping in Shropshire
The rural country of Shropshire is a lovely location for glamping and with its proximity to Wales, you can enjoy stunning views of the Welsh hills when on higher ground.
Decorated Welsh glamping pods offer comfortable double beds, with toilet and shower facilities close by, and of course the all important hot tub! The ONLY way to relax after a hard day of doing nothing!

Glamping in Suffolk
For a luxury glamping experience in Suffolk, how about a stay in a wooden Hobbit Hut. Memory foam mattresses and a welcome bottle of bubbly elevate this from ordinary camping. With an outdoor spa area with hot tub and log burning sauna, you'll never want to leave! A short break here will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world again.

Glamping in Devon
If you're eager for a "digital detox", then an off grid glamping experience with no wi-fi(!) will do the trick. Staying in a Mongolian yurt provides all the glamour you'd expect and is the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful countryside.

What Do I Need To Bring On A Glamping Experience?

This will all depend on what facilities are available at your glamping site. While glamping is a more luxurious version of camping, it still isn't the same as staying in a hotel or a holiday cottage so bear this in mind.

When booking your glamping break, you'll find out what is provided for you and what you'll need to bring with you.
It's worth finding out if the following is provided:

  • Towels
  • Bedlinen
  • Firewood
  • Matches/lighters
  • Toilet paper
  • Drinking water
  • Food / shops nearby to get food
  • Blankets / sleeping bags

Make sure you take appropriate clothing as you'll probably spend a lot of time outside. Always best to be prepared for whatever the weather throws at you!
Remember your toiletries and you might want to consider bug repellent spray and sunscreen during the summer.
