Glamping at FIB

When Glamping Makes Sense

• Travelling light: no tent, no sleeping bag, no sleeping mat to carry through airports or in a holdall
• Groups: glamping packages can accommodate multiple people in one large bell tent, which can work out reasonable per head
• Heat comfort: bell tents have better airflow than small backpacking tents and tend to stay cooler during the day
• Reliability: your accommodation is guaranteed and pre-arranged; no staking out a pitch or dealing with collapsed tent poles
• First-timers: reduces the planning burden and removes a logistical worry for those new to FIB

When Standard Camping Wins

• Cost: glamping packages add a significant premium on top of ticket prices - for the same money you could upgrade to a hotel with air conditioning
• No AC: even a bell tent can be very hot during July afternoons in Spain - for air conditioning, a hotel is the only real option
• Limited availability: glamping sells out quickly and may not be available when you come to book
• Still a campsite: you are still in the shared campsite environment - noise, shared facilities, no privacy door. If those things bother you, a hotel may suit you better

Verdict: glamping is ideal for those who want the campsite atmosphere without the logistics. For maximum comfort, a hotel in Benicassim town is a better investment.
