Glamping is camping with the comforts of a room: a tent tall enough to stand in, a proper bed, a rug on the floor and soft lights in the evening. Some of what is here is for a family trip, such as a canvas bell tent that goes in the car to a campsite. Much of it is for a garden room or a glamping business: geodesic domes, safari lodges and clear bubble rooms that are put up once and stay up for a season or longer.
Decide first whether it travels. A bell tent or a pop-up bubble tent packs into a bag and goes in the car. Most of the domes, safari lodges and polycarbonate bubble rooms are made to stay where they are put, and need a level base and room around them. Then think about light and privacy. Canvas is private and breathes, so it stays cooler in sun. A clear bubble gives you the sky, but everyone outside can see in, and it warms up fast in sunshine, so it wants shade, a cover or curtains. Last come the floor and the evening: a rug and some lights are what turn any tent into a room.
The bell tents, the pop-up bubble tents and the canvas cabin tent all pack down to go in the car. A bell tent is one centre pole and a ring of pegs, so it is quick to pitch once you have done it once.
Some are made for it: one bell tent here is sold as four-season, and one bubble tent has a snow skirt and PVC usable down to -20°C. A rug on the floor makes a real difference. Never take a barbecue or a stove without a flue into a tent: carbon monoxide kills.
Delivery is included in every price and tracked to your door. Each product page says when that tent usually arrives, so check it before ordering for a set date.
