If you can’t get enough of glamping porn, visit the UK based Quality Unearthed site. This browsing and booking service profiles unique, alternative camping options set in areas of natural beauty. The site handpicks and profiles everything from tiny eco pods and tree houses to cabins, narrow boats and yurts.
You can do your own search for location and type of abode or you can get inspired by Quality Unearthed’s categories like hot tub holiday, pets welcome, romantic stays, rural escapes or family friendly.
Quality Unearthed was founded in 2012 by Tim Rees of Quality Cottages in Wales. Tim has lived for four years in a yurt and wanted to blend his country’s interest in unique glamping options with holidays in natural areas.
The site’s blog also continues the quality of life concept with posts on energy saving tips, meditation, healthy eating, conservation and eco-glamping tips.
