Glamping
The Glampinga contraction of glamourous campingis a new trend in nature vacations that is becoming increasingly popular with travellers seeking adventure and comfort.

 

What is glamping?

This form of luxury camping offers unusual accommodation, such as cottages, cabins or tiny houses, equipped with all modern comforts. Glamping is an ideal alternative for people who want to disconnect from city life while enjoying an exceptional natural setting without having to give up the conveniences of modern life. In this article, Slow Village invites you to explore the origins of this trend, the different types of accommodation available and the most popular destinations for a Glamping stay.

The differences between glamping and camping

Glamping is a new form of camping that differs from traditional camping in its level of comfort and originality. Unlike traditional camping, which often involves sleeping on the ground in a tent with shared sanitary facilities, Glamping offers top-of-the-range accommodation equipped with comfortable beds, private bathrooms, a kitchenette, electricity and heating.

 

Traditional camping or glamping?

Traditional camping accommodation is often synonymous with simplicity and closeness to nature. Campers can choose to sleep in tents, caravans or motorhomes, often equipped with cots or air mattresses. Sanitary facilities are generally communal and basic, with shared showers and toilets. However, traditional camping also offers a certain degree of freedom and autonomy, allowing campers to choose their own campsite and enjoy a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Although the level of comfort is lower than in Glamping, traditional camping offers an authentic camping experience, ideal for those looking to get away from city life and closer to nature.

 

Glamping accommodation is the main feature of this new form of camping. Tastefully decorated in an original style, the rented accommodation offers a unique, immersive atmosphere and a luxurious, unusual camping experience, all in contact with nature.

 

What are the advantages of glamping?

Glamping is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason! This new form of camping offers many advantages over traditional camping. Glamping allows you to enjoy the great outdoors while benefiting from a high level of comfort and unusual, original accommodation. Whether you're looking for a romantic camping experience, with family or friends, Glamping offers an ideal alternative for those wishing to enjoy a unique camping experience, without sacrificing comfort.
