If you’ve always wanted to go camping but have always had a fear of going to a site with a lack of basic amenities which make going on such a holiday more comfortable, there is a type of holiday which combines the comforts of staying in a hotel with the thrills of staying close to nature. ‘Glamping’, short for glamorous camping, is a type of camping where you get added extras you might not expect to find in a normal tent. There are a few campsites in Cornwall which provide glamping which are worth staying in.

By going glamping with pitchup.com, you can get close to nature without sacrificing a few home comforts at a campsite such as Little Upton Boutique Belltents near Liskeard. Populated by bell tents and a solitary yurt, this glamping site comes with futons or double beds, wood-burning stoves, rugs, cushions and even tea light chandeliers for that extra touch. Each bell tent also has its own kitchen area, and nearby, the farm shop sells produce in the form of eggs, bacon and sausages.

Glamping has a several advantages over traditional camping which are worth taking into consideration before deciding whether you want to go on such a holiday. One of those is that you do not have to go to a block to do washing-up, cooking or cleaning. Many glamping tents come equipped with their own electricity supply, hot water, a bed or two and even some furniture. Another advantage is that you can do more in a glamping tent than a normal one because they tend to be more spacious, meaning that you don’t have to keep going out to have fun if you’re not in the mood.
