- natural camping at its best
Welcome
to Good-glamping.com.
A very
selective directory, Good-glamping.com only lists small glamping sites
with a maximum of 20 glamping units, and usually far fewer than 20.
While
many sites are exclusively for glamping, others are small traditional
campsites that include up to 15 glamping units out of a total of no
more than 60 pitches in all.
For the
time
being the resource covers France, Spain and Italy, but new small and
good-quality glamping locations are being added on a regular basis. In
due
course
Good-Glamping.com will be a one-stop source for finding some of the
best
small glamping sites in Europe

Almost by definition, glamping implies
accommodation in an uncrowded rural environment - or at least it should
do. That has not stopped a growing number of large campsites cashing in
on the word, by adding some upmarket and offbeat chalets and fixed
tents to an already-existing park of basic holiday chalets or
bungalows.
The glamping sites featuring on Good-glamping.com
all offer glamping facilities without the crowds.
The term
Glamping
first appeared in 2006, as a contraction of the words
glamourous and
camping. The
adjective
glamourous
does not perhaps convey quite the right meaning.
Refined camping
would be nearer the mark, but
Recamping
doesn't sound so good.
In contrast to traditional camping, where visitors
arrive
with their own tent or caravan, Glamping involves the hire or
rental of fixed or moveable units that are provided by the site owners.
Many glamping sites offer a range of different units, including yurts
and high-quality tents, gypsy-caravans, chalets, tree houses, log
cabins and even vintage classic caravans. In good glamping sites, these
are well furnished with quality fittings, and there is nothing for
visitors to do other than turn up, sign in, and enjoy the relaxing
environment.
Like any form of camping, glamping is generally
self-catering, and visitors will provide their own food, do their
own cooking or eat out. Some glamping sites, though typically not the
smallest
ones, may have a bar or a restaurant
Making a reservation.
For glamping holidays in small glampsites, booking
is always recommended. Even outside the peak holiday period in July
and August, small dedicated glamping sites, and the glamping facilities
in other rural campsites, by the very fact that they are small, can
easily get booked up. All it takes is for
an extended family or a company to organise a get-together
involving upwards of half a dozen units, and a glamping site can become
fully booked, or largely booked - even out of the peak season.
For some of the glamping sites listed on these pages, you will be
sent through to Booking.com, where information is provided in
multiple languages. Other sites are presented directly on their own
website.
