YHA enters the glamping market


THE YOUTH HOSTELS ASSOCIATION (YHA) in England and Wales has invested £1 million in camping, glamping, and cabin facilities at 63 of its hostels.
As well as hostels and camping pods, the YHA’s alternative accommodation includes glamping, for people who like camping but don't like roughing it. Solar-powered luxury bell tents are available at six YHAs in the south-west of England. The tents come with a double bed and three singles. Rates start at £70 a night.

Caroline White, chief executive of YHA (England and Wales), said: ‘We have so many properties with great outdoor space, acres in some instances, that it made sense to utilize it to entice more people to stay with and experience YHA. 

‘We acknowledge that not everyone wants a home-from-home experience when on holiday, but guests who choose to camp or glamp with YHA have access to our great self-catering facilities, bars, cafes, restaurants, and indoor communal areas should the weather be awful.’
