Whether in the wild or in a facility designed to accommodate tents, caravans and motorhomes, the number of camping enthusiasts has grown over the years. Another popular form of tourism has recently emerged: glamping.
Glamping, luxury camping
Glamping, whose name comes from the words “glamour” and “camping”, was born to meet the needs of a demanding clientele seeking both the advantages of a traditional campsite and those of luxury hotels. Glamping enthusiasts are looking for a comfortable stay in a magnificent natural setting to reconnect with nature in a warm atmosphere, without giving up their everyday comforts. They want to stay in fully-equipped luxury accommodation such as a mobile home or chalet.
Some are looking for an unusual vacation rental for a unique experience in complete privacy, such as a cabin in the woods, a Mongolian yurt or a gypsy caravan.
Tailor-made quality, activities, infrastructure and services
When you think of glamping, you think of glamour—and therefore quality. Glamping enthusiasts prioritize aesthetics and excellence as their top criteria. They’re willing to pay a little extra to stay in refined, high-end accommodations featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with a TV, separate bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Not to mention an outdoor terrace and a private garden on their spacious lot. And to ensure their vacation is a success, activities and entertainment for children must be offered: sports tournaments, theme nights, excursions… Finally, glamping differs from campsite camping in the facilities and services made available to visitors, such as a water park, a spa, a bar and restaurant, bike rentals, laundry machines, and a grocery store…
