Wiki:
Glamping (glamorous camping) is a growing global phenomenon that combines camping with the luxury and amenities of a home or hotel.[8] It originated in the early 1900s from European and American travellers camping in Africa. The wealthy travellers did not want to give up the luxurious lifestyle while camping so their campsites included many of the comforts they were used to at home. Glamping is camping in style and comfort. Amenities that are sometimes used by glampers are: lace tablecloths, embellished luggage, and down sleeping bags.[9] Also called boutique camping, luxury camping, posh camping or comfy camping, glamping allows travelers to experience nature without the hassle of finding camp space, carrying their tents, and erecting and taking down their own tents. Lodgings at glamping sites (glampsites) include structures such as yurts, tipis, pods, bell tents, safari tents, tent cabins, and tree houses. Glampsites range in price from as little as $50 per night to thousands of dollars per night, depending on the level of luxury. Sites offer amenities such as fresh bed linens, en suite washrooms, food service, private verandas, and, most importantly, direct access to the great outdoors.

Many years ago, I used to go to a one week trade fair at Harrogate, mid summer. Used to drive out to a place on the moors called Brimham Rocks. Nice drive, and if memory serves, there was an RAF listening station type place nearby. Very scenic, as well.
