I just got back from glamping in Lancashire. It poured down with rain (not surprisingly) but we had a brilliant time anyways!
13 Reasons to Go Glamping!
13. Most Glamping tents have separate "rooms" for kids - it is like getting a suite in a hotel (albeit with canvas walls!)
12. No TV - kids get to experience the great outdoors!
11. Fresh Air - you get it even when you're inside in these tents, so the kids will sleep like logs!
10. Loads of choices worldwide. Check out this site for inspiration! http://goglamping.net/
9. Sleep in a yurt. I didn't know what a yurt was either, until I saw this: http://www.lake-district-yurts.co.uk/info/our-yurts.html (look like a big marshmallow from the outside...)
8. Campfires. Actually, the campfire is beside the point. You can roast marshmallows on campfires, which is when it gets fun!
7. The glamourous part means that most of these sites have indoor loos which makes all the difference at 2am!
8. Easy cooking options - the featherdown farms sites allow you to book yummy food ahead you just need to heat over your pot bellied stove or a roaring fire. http://www.featherdownfarms.co.uk/
7. Access to the beach - some french glamping is right on the med, and check out this site on the beach in Cornwall - surf's up! http://www.tolcarnebeach.com/shacks.php
6. Farm glamping means all kinds of fun animal interactions even for the youngest kids. Remember to keep washing hands to combat germs, but otherwise have fun.
5. Rain rain go away...it will rain, but with an indoor stove, running water, comfy chairs and a table, kids can have fun indoors too when the inevitable downpour comes.
4. Adorable sleeping nook in the Featherdown farm tents that the kids will fight to sleep in!
3. Should I mention the money? Glamping can be cheaper than the same amount of space in the same location.
2. Eco-friendly alternative for accomodations.
1. Forced chill-out - no power, no tv, no mobile signal (often) - unplug, grab a book, play with the kids. Sounds like a great break to me!
