Glamping FAQs

What exactly is glamping and where did the term originate?

Glamping is also known as posh camping, or luxury camping, and is in fact an amalgamation of the two words - it’s basically camping without any of the inconveniences and discomforts traditionally associated with ‘roughing’ it in the great outdoors.

Whereas traditional camping involves searching for a suitable spot and assembling your own accommodation for the night, when glamping, the accommodation is all set up, ready and waiting. No struggling with unruly tent poles, battling the elements or dealing with the ensuing arguments and inevitable disappointment - when you’re glamping you can just turn up, unpack and relax!

Where can you glamp?

Popular glamping options include yurts, tipis, pods, bell tents, cabins, domes, hobbit houses, treehouses and safari tents, but you may also find converted airstreams, caves, buses, fire engines, horse boxes and even tanks out there available to rent.

What to take when going glamping?

Whatever you like! Depending on the glampsite, you may need to take your own bedding, towels, toiletries or other bits and pieces, so it’s always worth checking in advance, but in general you just need to take whatever you’d take to stay in a hotel, plus whatever you may need to fully immerse yourself in the great outdoors. Don't forget that some glampsites are off-grid and may not have WiFi or mains electricity.
