Glamping Boom 2025: Trends in UK Camping and How Snap Pod Fits In


Move over basic tents – glamping is officially in. As we roll into the summer of 2025, UK campsites are filling up faster than a marshmallow melts on a fire, but it’s not your average roll mat and torch combo drawing the crowds. It’s the rise of stylish, comfortable, eco-conscious outdoor living – otherwise known as glamping.

 

So, why the sudden boom?

Several reasons, really:

  • Post-Covid wanderlust: UK families want the joy of a break without the faff of airport queues.
  • Sustainability matters: Eco stays are no longer niche – they’re the new normal.
  • TikTok and Instagram: Let’s face it – bell tents and treehouses look great on your feed.
  • Weather-proofing: Today’s glampers want wood burners and warm beds, not soggy sleeping bags.

 

And the stats back it up. In a recent UK outdoor travel survey, over 50% of campers said they’re keen to try glamping this year – that’s double what it was three years ago. Bookings for family-friendly pods, domes, and off-grid huts have surged, and site owners are rushing to meet demand.

 

Enter Snap Pod

At Snap Pod, we saw this coming a mile off – and we’ve built our entire concept around it. People want adventure, but they also want a warm shower, a comfy bed, and maybe a soft-glow lantern to read by. So we’re creating handcrafted, modular pods that give you both: the wild and the wonderful.

 

Here’s how we’re lining up with 2025’s glamping trends:

  • Flat-pack for fast site installs: Our pod system makes it easy for landowners to scale up their sites quickly without long build times.
  • Eco-friendly design: We’re using sustainable wood, efficient insulation, and compact layouts to minimise waste and energy use.
  • Modular comfort: Add a bathroom pod, a family sleeping zone, or a chill-out nook – our segments clamp together for full flexibility.

 

We’re not just watching the glamping boom – we’re helping build it, beam by beam.

 

What’s next?

We’re still early in our journey, but the demand is real, and the workshop’s getting noisy. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing our prototype progress, pod layout concepts, and site partnership plans.

 

So if you’re into building wild spaces where families unplug, unwind, and make s’mores in peace – you’re in the right place.
