What is Glamping?

When Glamping, electricity connections, full-size beds, cozy wood-burning stoves, or electric heaters are often provided.  You'll even find hot tubs, fire pits, and bbq's at many to complete the experience.  Showers and toilets are often in a communal facility but you can find wet rooms with under-floor heating, hairdryers, and shower cabins too. The glamping option often costs a little more than a space to pitch up a tent or park a motorhome but with glamping everything is erected, prepared, and in place ready for your arrival which can be a great option both for first-timers or those that maybe don't have all the equipment for camping.  Glamping is also a great choice for mixed inter-generational families holidaying together, short breaks of a night or two, or those who like a bit of luxury when booking a holiday. 

You'll find a fantastic diverse range of camping pods in Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Dorset, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire below, with glamping for every taste and budget.
