Glamping under canvas in the Yorkshire Dales is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the natural world without sacrificing comfort. With its rolling hills, picturesque villages, and abundant wildlife, the Dales offer an idyllic setting for a truly unforgettable getaway.

What is glamping under canvas?

Glamping is a glamorous form of camping that combines the great outdoors with the comforts of home. Sleeping under canvas offers a unique connection with nature. Here at Masons, we’d argue that solid walls means you aren’t strictly camping or glamping!

You’ll wake up to the sounds of birdsong, feel the fresh morning air on your face, and be lulled to sleep by the gentle rustling of leaves and the sound of the nearby river. It’s a truly magical experience. Plus, there’s something undeniably romantic about sharing a cosy tent with loved ones.

Camping vs glamping

While traditional camping offers a raw and authentic outdoor experience, glamping provides a luxurious escape into nature.

Camping involves carrying your accommodation, pitching your own tent, sleeping in a sleeping bag, and often relying on basic amenities. It’s a back-to-basics adventure that requires preparation and self-sufficiency. Glamping, on the other hand, offers a more comfortable and indulgent experience with pre-pitched tents and comfortable beds!

It’s the perfect choice for those who desire a taste of the outdoors without sacrificing comfort. Ultimately, the best option depends on your personal preferences and the type of experience you seek.
