GLAMPING SHORT BREAKS

Glamping

Glamping is what happens when camping finally grows up, learns to hold a wine glass properly, and decides that sleeping on cold ground with a stone wedged into your spine is a needless act of martyrdom. With Activity Superstore, it means swapping damp canvas for heated pods, muddy boots for hot tubs, and gas burners for suppers that actually taste like food rather than punishment. It’s the countryside, yes—but with running water, real beds, and a level of comfort that even the most stubborn traditionalist secretly craves.

The joy of luxury under canvas

The heart of glamping is this: nature at your doorstep, but none of the hassle. You still get the owl calls, the wood smoke, and the morning dew on grass, but you’ll be listening from a king-size bed, wrapped in crisp sheets, with a kettle plugged in three feet away. Yurts, bell tents, cabins, shepherd’s huts, treehouses—they all count. Each one a way to bring the outdoors closer, while still keeping the rain on the outside where it belongs.

Why glamping makes sense

• Comfort: real beds, heating, power sockets, and showers that don’t require a stiff upper lip.
• Atmosphere: firepits, fairy lights, and views that would make even the most cynical city dweller exhale.
• Flexibility: perfect for families, romantic weekends, group getaways or solo resets with a book and silence.
• Sustainability: many sites lean into eco-design—solar power, compost loos that don’t scare you, and locally sourced food.

Types of glamping escapes

Romantic breaks

Picture a log-burning stove glowing as the sun dips over fields, a bottle of wine cooling nearby, and the soft smugness of knowing you’ve chosen properly. Activity Superstore offers plenty of glamping escapes designed for two—private, quiet, and built for moments that don’t need an audience.

Family-friendly adventures

Glamping takes the edge off family holidays. Children still get the thrill of the outdoors, marshmallows roasted over flames, and grass stains on their knees, but bedtime comes with proper mattresses, clean duvets, and the blessed relief of everyone actually sleeping through the night.

Group getaways

Shepherd’s huts clustered together, lodges with firepits, laughter bouncing into the dark. Glamping works for friends because it’s communal without being cramped, social without sacrificing comfort.

The food is better, too

Camping suppers are often an endurance test. Glamping changes that. Think local hampers waiting on arrival, pizza ovens tucked by the cabin, barbecues that actually light, and—should you choose—a short walk to a pub with menus worth reading twice. For those who believe food is half the point of any trip, glamping obliges in style.

Why choose Activity Superstore

Because fuss is stripped away. Activity Superstore makes it simple: pick your style—yurt, lodge, pod, or treehouse—choose the dates, and everything else is ready. No tent poles, no sleeping bags that don’t quite zip, no arguments about which way the tent faces. Just the countryside, the comfort, and a key in your hand.

At its best, glamping is not about pretending to camp—it’s about saying yes to the outdoors without saying no to comfort. It’s the reset button that works, whether you’re stargazing with someone you love, lighting fires with your children, or simply remembering what silence sounds like. And that is why Activity Superstore makes glamping effortless, memorable, and altogether more civilised.
