A glamping pod can be the perfect alternative for those who love the great outdoors but resent the inconvenience that traditional camping can bring.
At Harbourside Huts, we recognise that enjoying the tranquillity of nature doesn’t have to be coupled with sacrifice. If you want to wake up to the soothing sounds of birdsong and the fresh pine smell of a forest, without wrestling the broken tent zip and damp shoes, then a glamping pod is perfect for you.
What Is A Glamping Pod?
At its core, a glamping pod is a compact structure with modern amenities that’s placed in a desirable spot. Usually, its location takes advantage of nature, often in the countryside. However, they can be customised and used in gardens, campgrounds or as an office space to extend your house.
Harbourside Huts provides unique and custom designs for any application, whether it’s an off grid eco pod, cabin style campground hut or an office room in your garden. We can supply and fit whatever you desire.
Glamping Pods vs Traditional Camping
Traditional camping is no longer the only option for embracing nature. You can experience everything the great outdoors has to offer in luxury and comfort. That’s not to say camping is not a fun activity – sometimes it’s better suited to some people! However, if you’re looking for a more convenient and relaxing time, then a glamping pod is most likely more appropriate.
Here’s a comparison outlining the features a pod provides over traditional camping:
Glamping Pod Benefits
- Soothing birdsong and a gentle breeze
- Warmth from the wood stove, kept in by quality insulation
- Kitchen facilities for speedy meals
- Hot showers and running toilets
- Cosy, warm cabin atmosphere. Relax while listening to the rain
Traditional Camping Drawbacks
- Constant tent rustling
- Cold and wet shoes, condensation dripping from the tent walls
- A camping stove or fire is often hard to use in bad weather
- A dip in the lake or a rain shower - if it's not too cold!
- Huddling for warmth in a damp, cold tent
How Long Will A Glamping Pod Last?
All our pods are designed by fully qualified engineers. We can provide off-grid and on-grid facilities along with a variety of styles, such as flat or pitched roofs. There’s huge flexibility and versatility to all our structures.
When looked after thoroughly, you’ll be able to expect a pod to last at least a few decades. As standard, we use high quality and sustainable timber and fittings. If you want to create a glamping pod that lasts even longer, then we can do that for you too.
