The history of glamping

According to The Glamping Association, the word glamping was first used in the early 21st century in the UK Born out of an international financial crisis, young families turned to glamping after searching for a luxury holiday experience at a fraction of the price. In 1997, the UK driving license banned towing caravans, so travel companies created a low cost luxury vacation for families that would have normally gone caravanning.

Though the portmanteau wasn’t seen until the 2000s, the concept of glamping dates to the 16th century. In 1520, a summit known as “The Field of the Cloth of Gold” brought together King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France, who were rivals looking to wave the white flag. The result was an 18-day celebration with lavish activities, festivals, tournaments and feasting in tents set up for the royal courts. According to Historic UK, the tents were so luxurious that they were designed to look like “portable palaces” with fountains, stained glass and exquisite gold and jewels. Glamping indeed.

Another example is seen in Scotland, where the Duke of Atholl builds an elaborate, luxurious hunting lodge for King James V and his mother when they come to visit.
