Property 1452 in UK

Get back to nature and swap your bucket and spade for the joys of camping and songs around the fire this summer. For those who love the outdoors but don’t want to compromise when it comes to comfort, ‘glamping’ provides the perfect mix of stunning scenery, fresh air, modern facilities and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

HomeAway.co.uk, the UK’s number one holiday rentals website, offers holidaymakers a range of alternative accommodation options for glamorous camping holidays, from romantic yurts in the British countryside to chic mountain retreats in the USA.

Get away from it all in the breathtaking Pembrokeshire countryside and rent a lovely romantic yurt in the foothills of the Preseli Mountains, or travel across the Atlantic to California in the USA for a unique experience in a secluded mountain yurt with stunning ocean views. Alternatively, for a more exotic setting, choose a Maui bungalow yurt in Hawaii; the kids will love it, it's eco friendly too, and at just £55 per night, you'll have some spare change for surfing lessons too!

So step into the future of camping and enter the world of glamping this year with one of the properties below:
