How Can a Concept Design Help Your Glamping Site Stand Out?

Starting a glamping site resort in the UK and in large parts of the world has become an avenue for landowners and entrepreneurs with endless possibilities. From events such as the Pandemic, glamping has challenged traditional hospitality, and immersing yourself with nature in the comforts of a ⅘ star accommodation has become the growing trend.

Now more than ever, there is a need to differentiate your glamping site from the competition. Too often there are landowners who rush the whole process just to get a glamping site up and running. Completing a concept design of your glamping site is one of the most crucial part of a project and often the most overlooked. It’s where you take a step back and think, think about who you’re going to be and how you’re going to create a standout experience for your guests.

Here you’ll make decisions about your realistic budget, what your glamping pods will look like, how many you want, how they integrate with your land, plus who your site will be best suited to. The concept design is where you define your glamping site for what it will become.

What are the Benefits of a Concept Design?

  • Begin with the end in mind

    • Discover where you want your glamping journey to take you, just how far can you take this project?

  • Discover the intended guest experience

    • Consider the overall experience your guests will have. Not just what they’ll think about your glamping structure, but the nature around it, the heritage and culture they’ll feel during their stay. The story you want to tell will be found here.

  • See how you can increase your site’s value

    • Here you can think about the unique ways to differentiate yourself, look at your competitors and see what you can offer that’s unique. Create a magical experience for your guests, and attract a higher price per night.

  • Visualise your site

    • When you see something visually you begin to ‘see’ it differently. This can lead to you wanting to make changes etc. At this concept design stage, changes can be made inexpensively. Bring your finalised vision to life with a concept design, don’t build it as you go along.

  • Draw in investors

    • The concept design we deliver becomes an asset you can give to stakeholders and investors at an early stage. It can also be used within planning applications, potentially saving you some all-important time.
