Why Glamping, and Why Now?
Glamping—short for “glamorous camping”— is not new. It has been around since the 70s when many campgrounds began offering deluxe cabins and unique rentals. In recent years Campground Consulting Group has increasingly recommended adding glamping specific areas to developers when building new RV Resorts or expanding existing campgrounds. With all the positive press and the advent of glamping only resorts, glamping is no passing trend. It is a response to a changing market, driven by a new wave of travelers who are not satisfied with a traditional hotel room or rental, and who want to reconnect with nature without giving up the comforts of home. Over the past few years, glamping has exploded in popularity, transforming from a niche concept into a dynamic and profitable market sector. It is clear glamping is here to stay!
With this shift comes a new set of challenges and opportunities. While glamping shares some similarities with traditional campgrounds and RV parks, it also requires a different mindset and a unique approach. It’s about creating experiences that are as comfortable as they are memorable, spaces that are as luxurious as they are natural. This is where Campground Consulting Group and Glamping Consulting Group can help.

Jayne Cohen, her brother, David, and the Campground Consulting Group team are excited to officially announce their new focus on glamping consulting services.
