Luxury camping is increasingly popular among Dutch people
Luxury camping, also known as glamping, is becoming increasingly popular among Dutch people. People are increasingly opting for a camping holiday with that little bit of extra comfort and luxury. While until years ago we mainly saw people choosing real nature for a holiday at the campsite, this is different with all the luxury of today. Did you know that you can also simply spend the night 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 opportunity to cook yourself. But what actually makes it so that more and more people choose glamping?
Why do Dutch people choose luxury camping?
The answer is actually very simple! Luxury camping combines the adventure 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 camping at a glamping site has increased enormously, especially in the past 3 years. The main reason given is that we have increasingly warmer summers in our own country, but the prices of a holiday abroad have also become more expensive. This combination means that many people are happy to simply stay in their own country.
Different types of glamping sites
When we talk about glamping, most of us naturally think of a luxury tent. This is true in many cases, but there are many more options for camping in luxury. How about a beautiful tree house 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 site 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 somewhat different requirements than when you are with just a bunch of friends.
The advantages
We have already mentioned it, but one of the advantages is that a holiday in your own country is often relatively cheaper. First of all, you don't have to travel. At least, often no longer than an hour or two. You also don't need to bring anything other than some clothes and perhaps groceries for the first day. In addition, most glamping sites have a swimming pool, restaurant (often several) and an entertainment team, so that the children can enjoy themselves. This way you as parents can enjoy yourself, while the children can play during the day and in the evening. Because we are of course not always assured of good weather in the Netherlands, you can also consider looking at glamping sites in Spain, Italy and France.
