Bushcraft Plus Glamping?
There's no experience quite like it!
What is Bushcraft-Glamping?
The Outdoors People are providers of amazing camping experiences. To make sure that adults and families weren't being left out, we invented Bushcraft-Glamping; it's less of a straight-forward "glamp" and more of an adventure!
We provide beautiful canvas tents made by a leading British manufacturer. Everyone gets a comfy air-mattress which we insulate from the ground with closed cell foam. We lay out our tents very simply but attractively.
So what's so different?
The key part of the experience is what's going on outside your tent. Under our communal open-sided shelters, you'll find the campfire merrily burning away, the kettle on, and hot drinks for everyone, and above it all: the stars!
Once you've been camping with The Outdoors People, nothing else compares!
Focussed on our communal campfire area, our Bushcraft-Glamping package is a bit more of a wilderness experience than some glamping packages. If you think that it might not be for you then there are some great companies that offer more "glam" and less "camp" that we would be happy to recommend!
What's included in our Bushcraft-Glamps?
Our stunning 5-metre canvas bell tents. Each tent is suitable for a family of four to six.
Comfy double or single (your choice) air mattresses that are insulated from the ground by a closed-cell foam “roll mat.”
A camping lantern in your tent.
Extra blankets for your tent.
Giant communal outside shelters with purpose-made waterproof ground sheets to sit on.
Merrily burning campfire in the morning and evening complete with a substantial supply of marshmallows.
Kettles, mugs and everything you need for hot drinks.
What do you need to bring?
We provide some blankets in your tent but we don't generally provide any other bedding. Unfortunately, The Outdoors People can't yet control the weather so make sure to bring lots of spares in case it gets a little chilly! If you would like us to provide bedding for your experience, we can do so in ways that allow us to support youth and homelessness charities in our region. Please contact us to learn more about your options.
Clothing for the Great British Summer and all that can entail! If you're wanting to sit out in the shelters in the early morning or late into the evening then make extra sure that you can wrap up warm. Our shelters are open sided and our campfire is "boiling a kettle" sized, rather than "bonfire" sized!
We don't generally provide food and we can't make the campfires available for cooking, so please make sure you have a plan for your catering (strictly no flames, stoves or smoking within 6 metres of our tents please). If you would like us to provide catering for your experience then please contact us to learn about your options.
You might want to bring a camp chair or we can hire seating for larger events.
Despite our best efforts, the campsite may get a touch muddy and the grass is often wet in the early morning so choose your footwear accordingly. Wellies are the height of camping fashion!
