Luxury camping increasingly popular among Dutch people
Luxury camping, also known as glamping, is gaining popularity among Dutch people. More and more people are choosing a camping holiday with that little bit extra comfort and luxury. Whereas years ago we mainly saw true nature lovers opting for a camping holiday, this is different with all the luxury available today. Did you know, for example, that you can also stay overnight in a luxurious safari tent, where you are provided with all amenities, just like in a hotel? These tents have their own shower and toilet, luxurious beds, and you have the option to cook your own meals. But what exactly makes more and more people choose glamping?
Why do Dutch people choose luxury camping?
The answer is actually very simple! Luxury camping combines the adventurousness of camping with the comfortable facilities of hotels. You can enjoy the outdoors and the freedom that a campsite offers, while at the same time enjoying luxurious accommodations and amenities. Recent research has therefore shown that glamping has increased enormously, especially in the past 3 years. The main reason given is that we are experiencing increasingly warmer summers in our own country, and the prices of holidays abroad have also become more expensive. This combination means that many people are perfectly happy to stay in their own country.
Different types of glampings
When we talk about glamping, most of us naturally think of a luxurious tent. In many cases, this is true, but there are many more options for luxury camping. How about, for example, a beautiful treehouse or a lodge where you can stay with 4, 6, or even 8 people? Ideal for both families and groups of friends who want to enjoy nature, but in luxury. This means that there is a suitable glamping for every type of holiday. It is useful to check in advance what facilities are available. You can imagine that families with (young) children have different requirements than when you are with just a couple of friends.
The advantages
We have already mentioned it, but one of the advantages is that a holiday in your own country is often more affordable in comparison. First of all, you don't have to travel. At least, often no longer than an hour or two. Also, you don't have to bring anything other than some clothes and perhaps groceries for the first day. In addition, most glampings have a swimming pool, restaurant (often several) and an entertainment team, so that the children can also entertain themselves perfectly. This way, as parents, you can enjoy yourself while the children can play happily during the day and in the evening. Because we are not always guaranteed good weather in the Netherlands, you can also consider looking at glampings in Spain, Italy and also France.
