Glamping holidays in Tirol – top spots for luxurious camping

Glamping is a portmanteau word from glamorous camping, which describes a trend in camping. Glamping is a more luxurious form of camping, combining the luxury of a hotel with the romance of an outdoor holiday.

Glamping usually involves sleeping in large tents, but also tiny houses, barrels or other solutions. Unlike conventional camping, glamping tents always sleep on real mattresses and usually have a solid floor, electricity and a small, selected set of furniture.

Our five glamping accommodations that we recommend are also always on normal campsites. However, the glamping tents and accommodation are usually grouped together in one area of the campsite. You share the infrastructure with the other campsite visitors.

Whether the glamping accommodation has its own bathroom varies from site to site. However, some campsites now offer the option of renting a private bathroom for the duration of your stay for a small daily fee.

You will certainly have to dig a little deeper into your pockets than with conventional camping when glamping. After all, you don't have to buy any equipment, can travel with much less luggage and don't have to worry about anything on site. In this respect, glamping is certainly more comparable to a small hotel holiday in the countryside.

The great thing about glamping is that you don't need anything more than if you were travelling to a hotel or holiday flat: Glamping accommodation is usually fully equipped, so you don't need to bring a sleeping bag or crockery and often not even your own towel. However, you should check the latter beforehand.
