Types of glamping accommodation

There are a wide variety of glamping accommodation options available, so you’re sure to find the perfect experience for you and your family or friends. Some of the most popular glamping accommodation types include tents, tipis, caravans, treehouses, pods, tiny homes, and cabins.

Each type of glamping accommodation has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. For example, tents are great for people who want a more rustic glamping experience, while caravans are perfect for those who want all the comforts of home. Treehouses are a great choice for people who want to enjoy nature while still having access to all the amenities of a normal home. And pods are perfect for people who want something small, cozy, and a little bit different.

Tents

Glamping tents are perfect for people who want to enjoy nature while still having access to all the amenities of a normal home. Glamping tents come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so you’re sure to find the perfect one for your needs

There are a variety of glamping tents to choose from, so be sure to do your research before you book. Some popular glamping tent types include bell tents, yurts, and safari tents.

Safari tents are a type of glamping tent that is perfect for people who want something closer to a traditional camping experience and focus on the great outdoors. Safari tents usually don’t need internal poles, so can feel roomier than some other options. Safari tents are designed to be lightweight and versatile, and can range from a simple one room tent up to a large multi room setup.

Bell tents are becoming more popular for glamping. Usually made from canvas, bell tents are circular with supporting poles in the room and can be quite spacious inside, allowing for tents from small to large.

Dome tents are a type of glamping tent that is popular for their spacious interior and simple design. Dome tents have a simple, symmetrical design with a central peak. This makes them incredibly strong and weather resistant. As well as having these advantages, dome tents also have a unique and modern look that compliments the glamping experience.

Yurts are a type of glamping accommodation that have been around for centuries. Yurts are made from a wooden frame with a covering of felt or fabric. This makes them sturdy and weather resistant, perfect for glamping.

Tipis

If you’re looking for a glamping experience that’s a little bit different, why not try staying in a tipi? Tipis are often the image that comes to mind when thinking about glamping, and are one of the most popular types of glamping accommodation. Tipis are made from canvas and have a conical shape, which makes them perfect for people who want a more rustic and traditional glamping experience. Glamping tipis are perfect for people who want to enjoy nature, and don’t mind accommodation that could be a bit smaller and cozier than some other glamping options.

Tipis are often made from natural materials like wool and cotton, so they’re perfect for people who want to enjoy an eco-friendly glamping experience. They come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, some might be quite small and only suitable for a couple, while other glamping tipis can accommodate a larger group (though maybe not with much privacy, if that is a concern!).

Caravans

There has been a huge increase in beautifully designed glamping style caravans lately, making these a great option to consider. Luxury glamping style caravans are perfect for people who want all the comforts of home while they’re on vacation. Caravans are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, so you’re sure to find one that fits your needs.

Most glamping caravans come equipped with things like a kitchen, a living area, and a bedroom, so you can enjoy all the amenities of home while you’re away. This makes glamping caravans the perfect choice for glampers who want to relax and take it easy on their vacation.

If you’re looking for a glamping experience that’s a little bit different, why not try staying in a caravan? Caravans can offer a bit more peace of mind in terms of protection from weather and security, and also have a distinct advantage of being easily moveable to find the best spot.

Luxury treehouses

Glamping in a luxury treehouse is the perfect way to enjoy the lush rainforest and tranquil natural environment we have around Australia, while still having all the amenities of a normal home.

Most luxury treehouses are naturally going to be a bit bigger than tents or tipis, and are closer to standard accommodation options than other glamping styles. Because of this, treehouses can be a great way to connect with nature but with a bit more of the creature comforts and privacy than other options. Treehouses will often come equipped with things like a kitchen, a living area, and a bedroom, so you can enjoy all the amenities of home while you’re away. This makes luxury treehouses the perfect choice for glampers who want to relax and take it easy on their vacation.

Another big advantage of treehouses is they are usually in locations surrounded by trees, and can often be located in some really beautiful and picturesque spots. Most treehouses also are very private and secluded, so perfect for a romantic getaway.

Pods & domes

If you’re looking for a glamping experience that’s a little bit different, why not try staying in a glamping pod? Glamping pods can be in a few different forms, but a pod normally is going to mean small, cozy and something a bit more unique.

Modern pods or cubes are a small modular accommodation option that can be small in space but big on features. Modern-style glamping pods can be geared towards minimalists and utility, which is great for a true stress-free break.

Domes can come either in the form of a dome tent, or a modern geodesic dome. These are usually a single space with a wide entrance, perfect for watching a sunset or sunrise.

Rustic pods can be tiny pod-style cabins, a sort of mash-up between a pod, tiny home and cabin that can be perfect for couples and short getaways.

Tiny homes

Tiny homes have exploded in popularity in the last decade, as people embrace a simple and minimal style living focusing on the essentials in life. Lots of single people, couples, and even families making a permanent move to a tiny home. Tiny homes can be very eco-friendly, and can even be completely off grid. While there are lots of tiny homes people are using as their primary residence, there are also many around Australia available for holiday accommodation.

While tiny homes aren’t strictly a type of glamping accommodation, we’ve included them on this list and our websites because they embrace the same core principles and vibe of glamping – a connection with nature and a sense of luxury.

Cabins

The appeal of a rustic wooden cabin in beautiful surroundings is a powerful one, and probably why cabin accommodation is so popular. There are several different types of cabins, but most cabins differ from tiny homes because they are made primarily of wood, have a rustic feel, and can often feature a deck or fireplace.

Cottages are very similar, but can often be more of a living structure with running water, electricity, and other homely features that make them more of a living structure than temporary or holiday accommodation.

Which glamping accommodation should you choose?

So how do you choose the right glamping accommodation option for you? The best way to decide is to think about what type of activities you want to do while glamping. If you want to spend most of your time hiking and exploring nature, then a tent or tipi is a good choice. If you’re looking for something more relaxing, like soaking in a hot tub or reading a book by the fire, then a caravan or treehouse might be better suited to your personality.
