With the explosion of private rentals, one might think that traditional accommodation systems are struggling. And first of all: camping. This is not the case and this type of accommodation still attracts holidaymakers who have come to break away from their daily routine. We are even witnessing new forms of camping in order to follow the latest trends, improve comfort and offer everyone an unusual setting that suits them. Here are all the good reasons to make camping your preferred accommodation during the vacations.
Traditional camping: an original dwelling that still appeals
Far from the clichés that can sometimes be portrayed regarding camping, it is important to emphasize that camping is above all a change of setting, a change of habits, in short, a change of lifestyle. Indeed, while we spend a large part of our time at work or at home over a large part of the year, settling in a tent also means that we will spend a lot of time outside, in harmony with nature and the environment that surrounds us. And that, especially for people living in urban areas, is a considerable advantage and a real change of habits. Sleeping on an inflatable mattress, eating outside, being satisfied with the essentials, getting in touch with your neighbors, this is what seduces camping enthusiasts. Of course, there are those who want to keep a minimum of home comforts by opting for a caravan or a mobile home, but camping enthusiasts know that a tent is another world altogether. The advantage of camping is that it can be found everywhere: at thesea, in the mountains, in the countryside and even on the farm. In this regard, with the emergence of dedicated sites such as Camping Direct, we find the best campsites in the regions that make you dream. And don't forget that compared to hotels or private rentals, it's still cheaper, especially in high season. It is therefore the opportunity to devote a larger part of the budget to activities that will make the stay unforgettable.
Glamping, or how to camp in a bohemian and comfortable way
Born in 2007 in Great Britain, the word Glamping is the contraction of the words Glamorous and Camping. It's enough to make even the most reluctant people want to try the experience and dive into the heart of this unique universe. In fact, it is about camping, but in places that can be described as upscale, equipped with accommodations that provide all the necessary comfort. You have a real bed, a private bathroom or a real kitchenette with equipment such as an oven, a dishwasher or a washing machine. The other point that seduces a lot in this concept is the architecture of the proposed accommodations. Thus, you can spend your luggage in an atypical accommodation like a yurt, a teepee or to take height by settling in a cabin perched in a tree. In summary, we can say that in the range of outdoorhotels, glamping is the perfect combination of the search for authenticity and nature and the level of comfort and luxury of a hotel. For people who are not used to going camping, it represents a good compromise before not, why not, give in to the charm of traditional camping. Camping still has many years ahead of it and the least we can say is that it has not finished surprising us.
