Glamping - camping, only better!

The term glamping is made up of the two words "glamorous" and "camping". For some time now, the concept has enjoyed increasing popularity among travel enthusiasts. It combines the closeness to nature and cosiness of camping with the luxury that you would expect from an upscale hotel. Unlike regular camping, you don't bring your own tent or stay in a caravan or motorhome, but in luxury rental accommodation. All places where you can glamp have a comfortable bed, a private bathroom and often high-quality designer furniture. So with glamping, you don't have to sacrifice comfort and luxury or closeness to nature and freedom, but can easily combine the two.

Glamping is about combining the best of camping and a hotel holiday. It's great for a family holiday with children, where the little ones can let off steam and the adults can relax. But it is also just right for romantic days for two under clear starry skies. But anyone who reads luxury and comfort initially thinks that glamping must be a rather expensive holiday. But it is not like that at all.  Because choosing the type and size of living space, the place where you can glamp, opens up the possibility for everyone to find their own glamping paradise. So this glamorous way of camping has something to offer for every age, interest and budget.
