ENDLESS BLUE SKIES , CRICKETS CHIRPING AND BIRDSONG FLOATING THROUGH THE AIR ; COME NIGHTFALL , THOUSANDS OF STARS TWINKLING ABOVE YOU AMIDST A DREAMY QUIETNESS . THERE ’ S NO BETTER WAY TO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF THE SUMMER , ITS HAZY DAYS AND BALMY MOONLIT NIGHTS , THAN BEING OUT IN THE WIDE OPEN COUNTRYSIDE AT ONE OF KENT ’ S IDYLLIC GLAMPING SPOTS .
There ’ s nothing quite like sleeping under the stars to truly feel at one with nature . But for those of us who love our modern day luxuries and cherish a good night ’ s sleep in order to feel truly refreshed and ready to enjoy the day ahead , the thought of ‘ roughing it ’ in a poorly pitched tent and sweaty sleeping bag is all too unappealing . Sometime in the late 2000s , we started hearing a curious phrase : ‘ glamping ’. Was it a serious concept ? Could it only be done at Glastonbury ? What exactly sets camping and glamping apart ?
Over a decade later and glamping has become a familiar concept . Having swept across the nation , through festivals big and small , inspiring farmers and landowners , and taking form in everything from bell tents to shepherds ’ huts , glamping has become the new , modern way to experience all the joys of camping and the beauty of the countryside , but without the hassle of towing a musty caravan or pitching a mildewed tent .
Aside from the diehard campers that appreciate the practice as an artform , gone are the days of feeling cold , damp and miserable , and waking up with backache and a sneaky suspicion that you shared your sleeping bag with a couple of hungry mosquitos . Today , those that want to experience the best of
British summertime and the glorious countryside that comes with it , can do so with the luxuries of comfy double beds , hot showers , modern amenities , funky fire pits for making food , and a glass or two of Champagne in a hot tub while closing their eyes to hear the peaceful sounds of nature .
The beauty of glamping is that it can take many different forms and please an array of different tastes and needs . Whether you are seeking a romantic bolthole for you and your partner , a holiday full of excitement and wonder for all the family , or a wickedly raucous time with all your friends , Kent has a glamping spot to satisfy all .
